Vera Drake Part 4

Vera Drake is a selfless woman who is completely devoted to, and loved by, her working class family. She spends her days doting on them and caring for her sick neighbor and elderly mother. However, she also secretly visits women and helps them induce miscarriages for unwanted pregnancies. While the practice itself was illegal in 1950s England, Vera sees herself as simply helping women in need, and always does so with a smile and kind words of encouragement. When the authorities finally find her out, Vera's world and family life rapidly unravel.

How many jobs does she have? Caretaker, cleaning lady and housewife. All on top of doing that service... Wow, they don't make 'em like that anymore!

What I find interesting is the juxtaposition between what Vera is doing (the abortions) to get girls out of trouble; and what her son's doing (the stockings) to get girls into trouble. Both sides of the coin under the same roof.
