Late-nineteenth-century Britain saw the privileged classes forsake society balls and gatherings to turn their considerable resources to investigating and relieving poverty. Slum Travelers edited annotated and with a superb introduction by Ellen Ross collects a fascinating array of the writings of these lady explorers who were active in the east south and central London slums from around 1870 until the end of World War I. Contributors range from the well known including Annie Besant Sylvia Pankhurst and Beatrice Webb (then Potter) to the obscure.
