Seamstresses in 19th century France.

Life of a West End Seamstress in 19th Century London

The concern with workplace health and safety and workers' rights has been discussed for decades. Throughout British history, there have been many attempts by workers, to create unofficial trade unions to improve their working situation. During the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the question of whether our working environments are safe, necessary and improve an individual’s productivity has been asked. The pandemic saw many people begin the transition into the work from home (WFH) structure as many offices and buildings could not cater to social distancing measures, efficient ventilation or isolate the spread of disease. Of course, many were unable to transition to a WFH strategy and had to continue to travel to their place of work. Organisations were faced with the challenge of managing the spread of disease, protecting workers from illness, and work productivity.

Health and safety in the workplace is not a new phenomenon brought about by the pandemic but one that is rooted in British history. Workers endured gruelling labour and toil with poor living and working conditions, with a lack of government reform to protect workers and their families from injury or even death. It was not until the Health and Safety at Work act of 1974 that was introduced to protect workers and their rights. Although throughout the nineteenth century, there was a gradual progression towards improving the working lives of many Victorians, for example, the Factory Act in 1833. This article explores how the living and working conditions of seamstresses in nineteenth-century west end London became pushed into public discussion and Parliament's reluctance to pass reforms to ease the lives of seamstresses.

Amy Chandler explains.

The distressed seamstress

The industrial revolution took place between 1760 – 1840 and transformed the UK in many ways from the increased number of factories, trade, pollution, and a decline in living conditions. The industrial revolution also increased the chances of developing new illnesses from poor living conditions and lack of sanitation policies. London expanded rapidly and offered a new life for people in the city to find opportunities and employment, however the reality was bleak. Many found it hard to find work and earn enough money to stay in accommodation. Options were bleak, and many women resorted to prostitution or ended up in workhouses; some women were forced into prostitution to earn money on top of their daily employment. During the Victorian period, sewing was seen as a feminine quality and a skill taken up by women of all classes. The occupation of a seamstress was taken up mostly by working-class women and some upper-class women who were unable to become governesses, to support themselves and their families.

The image of the distressed seamstress became a cause celebre, which meant a controversial figure that attracted public attention and interest. The image of the distressed seamstress frequented art and literature in the nineteenth century with Thomas Hood’s famous poem Songs of the shirt 1843, depicting the plight of seamstresses as “fingers weary and worn, With eyelids heavy and red. A woman sat in unwomanly rags, plying her needle and thread”.(1) Hood’s poem continues throughout twelve stanzas revealing the plight of the living and working conditions of the life of a seamstress. Other literary figures attempted to shed light on the lives and hardships of the seamstress, such as Richard Redgrave. Hood’s poem inspired Redgrave to illustrate the figure of the seamstress as a pitiful and lonely figure with no escape to a better life or improved living and working conditions.

The death of seamstress Mary Walkley

In 1863 the course of how seamstresses were viewed changed forever after the death of a seamstress named Mary Walkley, “a workwoman in the employment of Madame Elise, described as Court Dressmaker, of 170, Regent Street”.(2) Women worked all day and night to complete orders, especially during London’s busy social season between April to June, when young women, often called debutantes, would attend social events in hopes of securing a marriage with a wealthy suitor.(3) After investigation, Walkley’s death was caused by “long hours of work and insufficient ventilation” and urgent calls for government officials to “establish by law regulation that might prevent the occurrence of such evils as this case brought to life”.(4)

Walkley's death in 1863 highlights the poor living and working conditions for seamstresses and is an example of what conditions women endured to survive in Victorian London. This particular case caused public outcry and awareness of the shocking conditions in the sweat industry, and there was no parliamentary legislation to change the situation, but public awareness and concern became apparent. Walkley’s case had a public inquest where Dr Lankester assessed the working and living environments. Lankester concluded the overcrowding and lack of ventilation for the number of workers in the space “open[s] up the whole question of the interior conditions of the workshops, workrooms, and sleeping rooms of the metropolitan workpeople”.(5) This situation also raised many questions regarding the “number of hours that persons may be employed in sedentary occupations in ill-ventilated rooms”.(6) Lankester’s report suggested the urgent need for parliamentary legislation to enforce sufficient ventilation and regulation of working hours, as “establishments like those of Madame Elise” were not uncommon throughout London.(7)

The death of Walkley and worker's rights for seamstresses were debated in great depth in the Houses of Commons, for example, Mr Dawson raised the humanitarian concern regarding their work. Dawson asked Parliament to consider if government officials “would give their support to a Bill for defining and limiting the hours of labor, and regulating and inspecting workrooms, alike in the interests of humanity as for the sake of sanitary precaution?”.(8) The debate of Thursday, 25 June 1863 also questioned: “why these establishments should not be placed under proper regulations” such as hours, registration and inspection that were mandatory law for places of employment such as factories, mines, and bakehouses.(9) This case never caused a change in legislation despite public outcry and dress shop owners who desired Parliamentary legislation to reform and recognise the hardship that many endured. Owners of dressmaker shops, like Madame Elise, did have some authority to make changes for their workers, but these were down to personal discretion. Many owners could not afford to regulate working hours as they could lose business to their competitors.

The working class had limited options in terms of choice of occupations due to socio-economic factors. Many workers ended up in the workhouse or following a life of prostitution to survive. Therefore, for working conditions to improve, the authority for change was in the hands of a handful of individuals who were hesitant to pass reforms. Despite there being no official legislation passed, the case of Walkley and the public debates surrounding her death did cause a shift in the public perception of seamstresses. Parliamentary transcripts are evidence of government officials' awareness of the significant difference in workers' rights, such as in factories. Parliament passed reforms to improve the health and safety of workers in factories, such as the Factory Acts of 1833, 1847 and 1850.

After Walkley’s death hit the press, there were questions from the public asking whether Madame Elise, as the owner, should be punished for her ill treatment of workers that contributed to Walkley’s death. This case highlighted a moral dilemma for many employers, as demonstrated by Parliament questions. Sir George Grey emphasised that “masters and mistresses, who are liable to provide for their apprentices food, clothing, and lodging, and have wilfully omitted to do so, are subject, upon conviction, in cases where there has been danger to life or permanent injury to health, to very severe punishment.”(10) Grey shifts the blame from the employee onto the employer for their negligence and ill-treatment of their workers.”(11)

Furthermore, the press reported the general public’s disgust of the working and living conditions.(12) One publication stated that the blame for Walkley’s death was Madame Elise and her debtors, such as duchesses and countesses, where workers were “overworked and poisoned” in Madame Elise’s establishment.(13) The report suggested that these debtors were “often answerable for moral privation and misery” by their “heedlessness and carelessness [… had] often been the cause of many weary hours night work to these poor girls”.(14) The blame was focused directly on the employers and the upper-class customers who placed the social season above public health. Arguably, the upper classes should have gained a conscience and concern for the establishments that they frequented. Madame Elise was unpunished for her negligence, but this situation questioned how workers were badly treated and unprotected by legislation that could ensure workers were protected from injury and death in a place of employment.

Calls for change

Public awareness of the seamstress industry continued to surge in 1906 with The Sweated Industries Exhibition organised by the Daily News. The exhibition aimed to “highlight ‘the evils of sweating’ ” and the public response and attendance were “unprecedented”.(15) The exhibition attempted to create awareness about the poor working and living conditions of seamstresses, whether they worked in a dressmaker’s shop or at home. This exhibition took place over forty years after the Walkley case and illustrates how slow progress for workers' rights, health and safety and reforms were during the nineteenth century. Much Parliamentary legislation and employment rights we are familiar with today took decades to reach the standard that protects workers from exploitation. Therefore, it took over forty years after the Walkley case for the plight of seamstresses to be taken seriously by Parliament and the general public with legislation achieved in 1909 with the establishment of the Trade Board Act that “introduced a legally enforceable minimum wage”.(16)

The Trade Board Act (later renamed the Wages Council in 1945) aimed to regulate the wages for workers in sweated industries such as seamstresses. Board members were representatives of the workers, such as trade unionists, representatives of the employers and government-appointed members. The council had an equal number of representatives from workers and employers and the government-appointed members were fewer.(17) The board proposed the minimum living wage and regularly adjusted the wage based on the state of trade and the cost of living.(18) However, there were ways for employers to avoid having to pay minimum wages through persuading the board that a worker was incapable of performing their expected work through gaining permits for workers with physical or psychological disabilities.(19) During a debate of the Trades Board Act 1909, the extent to which sweated industries suffered was revealed to Parliament. The debate highlighted that workers endured “excessive hours of labour and insanitary state of houses” and that “the earnings of the lowest classes of workers are barely sufficient to sustain existence”, resulting in “ceaseless toil, hard and often unhealthy” work.(20) The legislation proposed in this debate attempted to change working conditions and emphasise that the current wages were insufficient to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Despite this evidence exposing the exploitation of seamstresses, Parliament still were reluctant to pass bills that would even marginally improve the life of seamstresses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the life of a seamstress was slow to change, and legislation was well overdue, in comparison, to progressive change in working conditions for other occupations such as factories. The seamstress was integral to London’s social season and everyday life but was neglected by Parliamentary reform. The image of the distressed seamstress was not confined to the shadows in Victorian London but dragged into the public sphere where the general public attempted to change working and living conditions. In contemporary society, we have an ever-growing issue with the rise of fast fashion that exploits their workers in order to manufacture at a fast pace to ‘cash-in’ on popular catwalk trends.(21) In the same way that London’s social season exploited seamstresses to produce dresses to wear once and never again. Dress shop owners like Madame Elise used the social season as a way to ‘cash in’ on the hysteria of London’s social events and high demand for custom made gowns. The exploitation and high demand of popular trends mirrors the similar problems experienced in the Victorian era. Today, public awareness and the development of social consciousness have caused a shift in products becoming sustainable and ethically sourced to reduce the exploitation of workers overseas.

What Are The Most Powerful Tech Tools In Modern Education?

Image Source - CC0 License

Education has changed so much in the last decade or two alone. The way students engage in lessons and the way teachers teach is vastly different from what we used to see. If your parents entered a modern classroom, they’d be stunned by how advanced everything seems.

Of course, tech is at the heart of it all. The technological revolution has swept through the classroom and transformed the way education is provided. Numerous tech tools have been implemented over the years, but what are the most powerful ones? We’ve picked out four that are either changing the landscape of education or have already changed it.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is in the news all the time these days after massive developments in recent years. Things have sped up so quickly and AI has got so powerful that many experts are calling for a pause on its development.

Nevertheless, artificial intelligence has worked its way into educational institutions. Here, it’s being used in many ways to enhance the experience for learners and teachers. As shown here: https://txidigital.com/industries/education, AI technology is being used to customize education, provide detailed analytics for teachers, and help students get better help.

The last point is perhaps the most interesting as it relates to AI chatbots. Universities and schools are using chatbots where students can ask questions about assignments and receive quick feedback. Some schools are even using chatbots that help students pick out good college or university courses based on their preferences.

As this technology develops further, it’s interesting to ponder how students and teachers will use AI to further improve the educational experience.

eLearning

Since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, eLearning has skyrocketed. Reports from 2021 say the industry grew to over $315 billion. There’s been a growth in different eLearning apps since then, with schools and universities hosting entire courses online.

Outside of “traditional” education, eLearning has also allowed people to access educational resources in a new setting. People without the financial ability or grades to go to university can now take classes online and get pretty impressive qualifications. There’s been a rise in free eLearning courses too, with sites like HubSpot offering them frequently.

As well as this, eLearning has been powerful because it’s allowed learners and teachers new ways to approach education. Instead of typical lecture or classroom formats, teachers can hold lessons online. Could we see a future where the school week is shortened to 4 or 3 days in classes and 2 days of eLearning? It’s a possibility, and this could decrease the demand on some institutions when it comes to supporting students in school.

Virtual & Augmented Reality

As of yet, we haven’t seen the true power of virtual or augmented reality in the classroom. But, this technology is slowly coming.

There is a difference between VR and AR that makes them both equally powerful tech tools for education. Virtual reality completely takes away your surroundings and puts you in a different world. This can be useful in bringing more interactivity and engagement to lessons as it almost adds a gamification element to things. It could also be a useful way of teaching certain topics as you can virtually create settings or scenes for students to look at.

Augmented reality keeps people in the normal world but projects images for them to see. Apple has a whole document on Augmented Reality in Education that walks through all of its best use cases. It uses examples like overlaying animals on a desk in biology classes or showing shapes in the air for maths lessons.

The possibilities that VR and AR bring are potentially endless, making this one of the most exciting tech tools to look at in the coming years.

Social Apps

Social apps shouldn’t be confused with social media. Here, we’re mainly talking about applications like Discord. This is a free platform where people can create communities and invite people to engage in discussions. You can have multiple forums within communities, members can talk to one another via tex, video or voice chat, and it allows for amazing collaboration.

Universities and schools are adopting this idea and using it to improve the experience for students. People in the same year at school can join the school’s Discord server and talk to one another. It’s an easy way to get help from teachers or other students while also being an excellent way for schools to get messages across.

Built-in video calling means online lessons can also be provided this way. Closed-off social apps like Discord might be the least impressive tech tools in terms of advancements, but they’re arguably the most practical.

To sum things up, technology has taken over education and delivered a better all-around experience for teachers and students. We’re excited to see what the future holds and whether technology can lead to better education for all.

Pregnancy and COVID: Risks and Vaccines

If you're pregnant, you're probably worried about how COVID-19 might influence both your and your unborn child's health. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the virus, their treatment, and how to protect yourself and your unborn child.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) states that pregnant women should be thought of as a population at risk for the sickness because COVID-19 causes a respiratory ailment that can be passed from person to person.

The 12th International Nursing, Healthcare and Patient Safety Conference will take place from July 25–27, 2023, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. "Future of Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety" was the conference's theme. A portion of the Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety Conference consists of keynote addresses and workshops. Meet professionals from around the world to debate sessions on relating, interacting, and transforming advances in patient safety, nursing and healthcare management, as well as increasing global cooperation in clinical and research practise. There will be delegates and poster sessions from all over the world presenting this interesting programme. Kindly visit here: https://nursing-healthcare.universeconferences.com/

Although current research does not indicate that pregnant women are more likely to develop the novel coronavirus, changes to the body during pregnancy may make you more susceptible to some infections. As a result, COVID-19-positive pregnant patients are three times more likely to require ICU care and two to three times more likely to require advanced life support and a breathing tube.

In addition to continuing to see your provider for standard prenatal care and testing while you are pregnant, it's necessary to take precautions against diseases. However, call your provider's office before visiting for treatment if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms and believe you may have the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Does having COVID-19 when pregnant harm the unborn child?

Mothers who tested positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy have reported preterm birth and other unfavourable infant outcomes. This information, however, is based on scant information, and it is unclear whether the mother's illness was a factor in these results.

It seems uncommon for COVID-19 to pass from the mother to the unborn kid over the placenta. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also reported that no samples of amniotic fluid or breastmilk contained any signs of the virus.

How can you avoid contracting COVID-19 while expecting?

To prevent illness while expecting, follow the same precautions as everyone else. The following actions are the greatest approach to stay healthy:

Engage in "social distancing" by avoiding all large gatherings of people.

Stay away from sick people's close quarters.

Do not touch your lips, nose, or eyes.

Use a common household cleaning spray or wipe to clean and sanitise surfaces and items that are in close contact with people.

Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Should a pregnant woman get the COVID-19 vaccine?

The COVID-19 immunisation is advised for women who are pregnant or nursing, according to the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and other pregnancy experts. The following recommendations for expectant patients were recently released by the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine:

The COVID-19 sickness, particularly severe illness and death, is effectively prevented by the immunisations.

The placenta and breastmilk can help the baby receive protective antibodies from the vaccine if it is given during pregnancy. These antibodies might reduce the likelihood that the unborn child will contract COVID-19.

More than 139,000 pregnant women have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Babies born to pregnant women who received vaccinations have not been associated with any safety issues.

There have been no more pregnancy losses, development issues, or birth deformities among the 800 pregnant women who received the vaccine in the first trimester as compared to those who did not. In those who had the vaccination later in pregnancy, no issues have been documented.

The COVID-19 vaccines prevent COVID-19 from spreading.

Can everyone continue working as usual while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing?

You may continue working if you still have important work obligations. For instance, pregnant women who work in healthcare should adhere to the same risk assessment and infection control protocols as other healthcare professionals who may come into contact with patients who have COVID-19, whether it is suspected or confirmed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant healthcare professionals might still be able to provide patient care. Based on staffing levels, hospitals may want to limit the exposure of pregnant healthcare workers to patients who have COVID-19 that has been confirmed or suspected, particularly during procedures that carry a higher risk (such aerosol-generating procedures).

Can breast milk be a source of Covid-19 transmission?

Currently, medical professionals think that COVID-19 spreads from person to person through coughing or sneezing, much the how the flu and other respiratory viruses do.

For the majority of newborns, breast milk is the best source of nutrients. The choice of whether to start or continue breastfeeding should be made in consultation with your doctor.

The CDC advises taking the following steps if you have COVID-19 in order to prevent infecting your child:

Before you touch your child, wash your hands.

If at all feasible, put on a facemask when nursing.

Before touching anything or using a breast pump to express breast milk, wash your hands. Also, ensure sure the pump is clean both before and after each usage.

If at all feasible, think about giving your infant breast milk that has been expressed by someone who is healthy.

The goal of the CME/CPD accredited 12th International Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety Conference is to promote and perform collaborative interdisciplinary research in cutting-edge Nursing education and Healthcare technology. Now the Early-bird Registration is open for the 12NHPSUCG. Join us in Dubai, UAE on July 25-27, 2023. It brings exclusive insights and inspirational speakers to discuss the latest research & trends. This conference is for you if you or your coworkers have any questions about nursing, healthcare management, or patient safety.

[lwptoc] Amid the rising tensions for Biden to seek Republican support to pass his agenda through the Senate, Section 304 of the Budget Reconciliation Act 1974 has brought exciting news for Democrats. As Republicans were trying to put roadblocks in the Democrats’ way, the interpretation of the section by the Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough will be win-win news for Democrats. This interpretation would be able to pass more bills this year with a mere 51 votes instead of 60, typically required to avoid a filibuster in the Senate. We have gathered some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Section 304 of the Budget Reconciliation Act. Let’s have a look. What does Section 304 of the Budget Reconciliation Act 1974 say?The actual text of the section says, “At any time after the concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year has been agreed... and before the end of such fiscal year, the two Houses may adopt a concurrent resolution on the budget which revises or reaffirms the concurrent resolution on the budget for such fiscal year most recently agreed to.”How many budget reconciliations can a party do in one year?Often, one budget reconciliation is allowed in the Senate every year. So, technically, Democrats would be able to do two reconciliations this year belonging to the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021.Why were Democrats unable to find out this law before?Probably, Democrats oversaw Section 304, mentioning the revision of the already passed budget reconciliation. The Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has advised that Democrats can use the reconciliation process even further, helping Democrats lose the burden on their shoulders.How can Democrats use this budget reconciliation advantage that they just get?As the name suggests, it can be used in budget proposals involving money. Contrary to popular belief, this reconciliation cannot be used to pass voting rights bills and gun control laws. So, Democrats must find other ways to pass their other plans not involving budgets.As Democrats use this reconciliation once per year, where did they use it for 2020?Due to the bill’s urgency, Democrats used their chance in passing the coronavirus American rescue plan worth $1.9 trillion, as the Republicans proposed a counter plan comprised of only one-third of the Democrats’ plan.Where are Democrats expected to use their next reconciliation advantage that they just won?As President Joe Biden announced an infrastructure plan worth more than $2 trillion, they are expected to use it in passing this. Republicans will never extend their support to this bill, owing to the differences they are having with the Democrats right now on the bill.What are the differences between Republicans and Democrats on Biden’s infrastructure bill that drive the need for the budget reconciliation process?As the bill is worth more than $2 trillion, Democrats believe that the money to sponsor the bill must come by taxing wealthy Americans. Compared to this approach, Republicans opine that no additional tax should be imposed, and the government must find alternate ways to sponsor the bill. Two trillion dollars is no small amount, and it seems next to impossible to fund this much money without increasing taxing, especially in times when the government is already providing stimulus checks to the masses. Apart from that, Republicans do not support Democrats’ plans beyond roads and bridges. As the Democrats proposed bill focuses on rejuvenating the infrastructure in the broader framework for which roads and bridges are just a small part, it is unlikely that both parties can reach a consensus on the said matter.When are the Democrats expected to pass Biden’s infrastructure plan?Despite the Senate parliamentarian ruling in their favor, Democrats have not yet decided the time when they are going to pass the legislation. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s spokesperson said, “No decisions have been made on a legislative path forward using Section 304, and some parameters still need to be worked out.

”Isn’t this type of sweeping process a danger to American democracy?Democracy demands rigorous participation of the public representatives in legislative matters, and there is no doubt that the elected Senators must contribute to the legislation. However, the Republicans’ approach to politicizing the matter often ends up screwing most of the bills for which Democrats are forced to take sweeping actions. At the end of the day, Democrats are utilizing Section 304 to benefit the general public. Video Summary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jezS3Q39kQk
