Abstract
Summary: A matched controlled study of 84 depressed women confirms the findings of Brown et al, that loss of mother before 11, three or more children at home under 14 years of age, lack of a confiding marital relationship and lack of employment may be vulnerability factors predisposing to depression in working-class women.Keywords
