ResumoThis brief chapter explores the 1890s work of the American journalist in London Elizabeth L. Banks, which created a new subform of incognito social investigation, one focusing on domestic service and ‘woman’s work’. It is shown how Banks makes herself the subject of her writing, and how the purpose of her texts, nominally instruction, is in fact entertainment. We also see how ‘the poor’ are a social and cultural category rather than an economic one.
