Upstairs, Downstairs: The Life of a British Maid
Follow Alice Sutton, a servant in Edwardian England, as she prepares the estate for a visitor and fights for women's suffrage.

It’s just before dawn in 1906 at Wroxton Abbey, and 16-year-old Alice Sutton’s mind is already spinning. The underhousemaid has a full day ahead of her as the estate prepares for the evening’s guest: Prince Arthur. This is Alice’s chance to prove herself to her new employers — but there are other forces at play. Stephanie Honchell Smith details a day in the life of a servant in Edwardian England.
