Publisher's Synopsis

Bearing The Yoke is a book written by Helen Shipton and first published in 1884. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences of living with and caring for her husband, who suffered from a debilitating illness. The book is written in a straightforward and honest style, and offers a glimpse into the struggles faced by caregivers in the 19th century. Shipton writes about the physical and emotional toll of caring for her husband, as well as the financial strain it placed on their family. She also discusses the societal expectations placed on women during this time period, and how these expectations affected her role as a caregiver. Despite the challenges she faced, Shipton remained committed to her husband and her family, and her story is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit. Bearing The Yoke is a poignant and moving account of one woman's journey through the trials of caregiving, and is a valuable resource for anyone facing similar challenges today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
