Abstract
Ciarán McCabe's appraisal of charwomen in early twentieth -century Dublin tenements revealed large numbers of widow chars maintaining independent households. This initial quantitative demographic study of a one fifth sample of rural Berkshire charwomen, using raw data from the 1911 census, finds similarities with contemporary Dublin. Charring was often a response to financial imperatives, and migration played little part in the life of charwomen.
