This book records the life and work of the women and girls who worked at the mines and clay works in the St Austell area covering some ten parishes. The region has a mining history dating back to at least the 16th century but the heyday of the female employment was the 19th century when most were working in the copper mines. It was at this time that women and girls also began to be employed at the clay works.
