This book examines women's financial activity from the early days
of the stock market in eighteenth century England and the South Sea
Bubble to the mid-twentieth century. The essays demonstrate how
many women managed their own finances despite legal and social
restrictions and show that women were neither helpless, incompetent
and risk-averse, nor were they unduly cautious and conservative.
Rather, many women learnt about money and made themselves effective
and engaged managers of the funds at their disposal. The essays
focus on Britain, from eighteenth-century London, to the expansion
of British financial markets of the nineteenth century, with
comparative essays dealing with the US, Italy, Sweden and Japan.
Hitherto, writing about women and money has been restricted to
their management of household finances or their activities as small
business women. This book examines the clear evidence of women's
active engagement in financial matters, much neglected in
historical literature, especially women's management of capital. .
