Child Rescuers
In our continuing series on the lives of woman humanitarians Jennifer Chevalier investigates the plight of the Child Rescuers.
One of the most important movements to help poor children in the 19th Century was the Ragged School movement. The best known schools were run by men like Dr Christian Barnardo, but many were run by women, such as early pioneer Mary Carpenter.
