This is an easy read book of Margaret Langley's life. Coming from a poverty stricken home in Hove, England, she took the only type of job she could get having completed school to the 8th grade and hating sewing. Her descriptions as scullery maid, and on-the-job learning and insights make for interesting reading. The historical how-tos are interesting too (sand and soap to scrub the floor, etc).
