17 pages. This article examines the moral and social concerns raised by women’s night work in industrial towns. It highlights Catholic initiatives such as girls’ clubs and protective associations, reflecting wider debates about labour conditions, welfare, and the safeguarding of young workers. Written under the pseudonym “Catholica”, the internal evidence points overwhelmingly to the author being a senior English Catholic laywoman active in social reform circles, almost certainly someone connected with the nascent Catholic Women’s League or the earlier Ladies’ Association for the Care of Catholic Girls, with the most likely writer being Elizabeth Mary Ward (1846–1930), wife of Wilfrid Ward, and active in Catholic women’s social reform. Her writing style matches the tone of the article: earnest, legislative, moral, sociological, and grounded in Catholic social duty. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Dublin Review; New Arrivals; Antiquarian & Rare.
