A Detested Occupation?

by Annie Williams

Trwy gydol y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, roedd cannoedd o ferched mewn gwasanaeth domestig. Ond er bod nifer fawr o ferched wedi gweithio mewn plastai ac ystadau o statws ac arwyddocd, a hynny dros gyfnod hir mewn hanes, anaml iawn y clywir eu storau. They are the hidden army in what has been called a detested occupation. Throughout the nineteenth century, hundreds of women were in domestic service. But despite large numbers of women working for such a long period of history in mansions and estates of stature and significance, their story is seldom heard.
