This volume explores the role of women in business in
nineteenth-century Northern French textile centers. Lille and the
surrounding towns were then dominated by big and small family
businesses, and many were run by women. Those women did not
withdraw into the parlour as the century progressed and the
'separate ideology' spread. Neither did they become mere figure
heads - most were business persons in their own rights. Yet, they
have left almost no traces in the collective memory, and historians
assume they ceased to exist. This book therefore seeks to answer
three interrelated questions: How common were those women, and what
kind of business did they run? What factors facilitated or impeded
their activities? And finally, why have they been forgotten, and
why has their representations in regional and academic history been
so at odd with reality? Indirectly, this study also sheds light on
the process of industrialization in this region, and on
industrialists' strategies.
