Brummie Twins

Keith Fisher

£9.99

A woman's place in the late Victorian period and early twentieth century was very restricted. Young girls of the poor were working by the age of thirteen. Girls of the better off were often used as domestic servants. Only young ladies of the landed gentry or the rich had a chance to just look pretty and get married to a suitable gentleman. Being born outside wedlock (for both girls and boys) was a curse. Pregnant single girls were often shunned. Of course there were exceptions and this story is about two girls with gifts that allowed them to enjoy life and serve their country. Being born on the edge of Birmingham they were Brummies unrestricted by their birth place. They made a very good impression working in a far off land and enjoyed what they were doing while making many of their own decisions.
