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 tells the story of the Luke Street Girls' Home, a refuge for young women in Dublin in the late 19th century. The home was established by the author's mother, Lady Emily Whately, and was one of the first of its kind in Ireland. Through a combination of personal anecdotes, historical research, and archival material, the author provides a detailed account of the home's founding, its daily operations, and the impact it had on the lives of the young women who lived there. The book also explores the social and economic conditions that led to the need for such a home, as well as the broader historical context of women's rights and social reform in Ireland during this time period. Overall, ""Call Them In"" is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on an important chapter in Irish social history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in women's rights, social reform, or the history of Dublin in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
