Recollections of Life and Work: Being the Autobiography of Louisa Twining (1893) is a memoir written by Louisa Twining, a British social reformer and philanthropist who lived from 1820 to 1912. In this book, Twining recounts her life and work, including her efforts to improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged in Victorian England.Twining was born into a wealthy family and was exposed to social issues from an early age. She became involved in philanthropy as a young woman and eventually founded the Workhouse Visiting Society, which aimed to improve conditions in workhouses and provide support to those living there.Throughout the book, Twining describes her experiences working with the poor and her efforts to effect change in the face of societal and political opposition. She also reflects on her personal life, including her relationships with family and friends, as well as her struggles with illness and loss.Overall, Recollections of Life and Work offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering social reformer and provides valuable insights into the social and political landscape of 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
