Publisher's Synopsis

""Call Them In: The Story Of The Luke Street Girls������� Home, Dublin (1872)"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Elizabeth Jane Whately. The book chronicles the establishment and operation of the Luke Street Girls������� Home, a charitable institution in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1872 to provide shelter and education for vulnerable girls in the city.Whately, who was involved in the establishment of the home, provides a detailed account of the challenges faced in setting up the institution, including securing funding and finding suitable premises. She also describes the daily life of the girls in the home, including their education, work, and leisure activities.Throughout the book, Whately emphasizes the importance of Christian values and principles in the running of the home, and the positive impact it had on the lives of the girls who passed through its doors. She also highlights the broader social issues facing young women in Dublin at the time, such as poverty, lack of education, and the dangers of prostitution.Overall, ""Call Them In"" provides a fascinating insight into the history of charitable institutions in Ireland, and the role they played in addressing social issues in the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for historians, social workers, and anyone interested in the history of women's rights and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
