Call the midwife : Shadows of the workhouse / Jennifer Worth.

Worth, Jennifer, 1935-2011 (author.). Barber, Nicola. (Added Author).

Summary:

When 22-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the direst section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives; she also became the neighborhood's most vivid chronicler. Woven into the ongoing tales of her life in the East End are the true stories of the people Worth met who grew up in the dreaded workhouse, a Dickensian institution that limped on into the middle of the twentieth century.
