Bondagers : The History of Women Farmworkers in Northumberland and South-East Scotland (Iredale, Dinah )
This book has been many years in the making, and is the most comprehensive and accessible work on the Bondage system for farm workers that existed in Northumberland and South-East Scotland throughout the Nineteenth and in the early part of the Twentieth Century.
Bondagers is published by the Glendale Local History Society, in part thanks to a grant from the North Northumberland Leader Gold Small Grants Scheme administered by Community Action Northumberland. Chairman, Roy Humphrey, said: The Society is delighted to have been able to help Dinah see her excellent book into print. The Bondage system was unique to Northumberland and South-East Scotland and it is particularly appropriate that the fullest account of this most fascinating subject has been written by a local author, printed to a high standard in Berwick, the archetypal Border town, and published by a local publisher, our Society. I believe it has every chance of becoming the standard work on the subject and that it will generate interest far beyond the immediate locality it deals with".
