Zusammenfassung

During the Revolution of 1848, Leipzig domestic servants established the first independent workers' association for women in the city. The association concerned itself with improvements in the working and living conditions of domestic servants and aroused considerable attention in the spring of 1848. Faced by opposition from employers of domestic servants, this first attempt at organizing female servants expired after only two meetings. In the following two decades the situation of domestic servants became the subject of attention of middle- and upper-class women and men, who established institutions to oversee servants' activities and education and to provide temporary shelter to women seeking employment as servants.
