The book examines the living conditions and economic struggles of working-class families in Lambeth, London, focusing on how they manage to survive on a weekly budget of around one pound. By detailing the lives of these families, the author shines a light on the broader issues of poverty, housing, and social welfare. The opening of the book introduces the district of Lambeth, describing its busy streets and the residents who live there. The narrative begins by setting the scene of a tram stop where working-class families converge, emphasizing their routine and environment. It discusses the types of jobs these individuals hold and their efforts to maintain a respectable life despite financial constraints. The investigation, led by the Fabian Women's Group, aims to understand the effects of poverty on mothers and children, laying the groundwork for a detailed exploration of their lives, including housing conditions, budgeting, and the challenges they face in raising their families within such tight economic means.
