What would those makers of lace for the cottage industry do if they lived 'now' instead of 'then'? Would they be technical workers at a factory, would they be secretaries, bank clerks (erm, customer sales representatives..), medical assistants? Would they be interested in a hobby of lacemaking necessarily? I don't know the answer, but I do wonder.
