She was a Rod Peeler for Basket Making. See the entry above her in the 1901 Census.
RG13; Piece: 3055; Folio: 94; Page: 25.
Peeler, aka rod peeler, rush peeler, twig peeler, willow peeler; peeled rods of willow, osier, rush, etc., before weaving, by using a brake, which were a kind of pincers.

Well, I saw it said Bask - and I wasn't thinking of exotic underwear when I saw it.  ::)
