Description: "This book explores the previously hidden lives of the women who held families together and made ends meet in Scotland's crowded urban tenements. She Was Aye Workin' is an eloquent tribute of women's resilience, self-sacrifice and management skills in the face of difficult conditions and relentless poverty. The mutual support of neighbours was crucial to survival."--BOOK JACKET.
