Women and Industrialization. Gender at work in nineteenth century England

Notes:

Deals with the employment of women and girls in textile production, drawing to a large extent on a case study of the experience of employment in the silk goods production business of Courtaulds, at their silk mill at Halstead, Essex. In particular explores the changing place of women in relation to men in the disruptive environment of rapid economic change, dealing with the changing sexual division of labour, the changing connection of economic and household / family functions, etc, etc
