Description

Considering patterns of women's employment in the period 1700-1850, industry, agriculture, fashion trades, service, prostitution, and marriage and family life sheds light on contemporary debates in history such as the sexual division of labour, controversy over continuity or change in women's employment, the importance of ideas of "separate spheres" and "domestic ideology", and the overall effects of capitalism on women's employment.
