Your mother worked at the laundry?
From when she was 14.
She'd strapped me on her back or under the copper vats if I'd sleep.
All the women did it who had babies then.
Your employer allowed that?
- He'd have you back as soon as you could. - He?
Mr. Taylor.
And does your mother still work at the laundry?
She died when I was four.
I see.
Vat tipped. Scalded her.
What of your father?
Don't know him.
And you've worked for Mr. Taylor...
Part-time from when I was seven.
Full-time from when I was 12.
Don't need much schooling to laundry shirts.
I was good at collars, steaming the fine lacing.
Got the hands for it.
I was made head washer at seventeen, forewoman at twenty.
Twenty-four now, so...
You're young for such a position.
Laundry work's a short life if you're a woman.
And why is that?
You get your aches and your chest cough, crushed fingers,
leg ulcers, burns, headaches from the gas.
We had one girl last year poisoned.
Can't work again. Ruined her lungs.
And your pay?
We get thirteen shillings a week, sir.
For a man it's 19.
And we work a third more the hours.
They're outside most days on deliveries, so at least they're in the fresh air.
What would the vote mean to you, Mrs. Watts?
I never thought we'd get the vote,
so I've never thought about what it would mean.
So why are you here?
The thought that we might.
That this life...
There is another way of living this life.
Sorry. My words...
The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.
Thank you.
