The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries witnessed
significant developments in the structure, organization, and
expansion of financial markets and opportunities for investment in
Britain and its empire. But very little is known about how men and
women engaged with these markets and with new opportunities for
money-making. In what ways did the composition of personal fortunes
alter in response to these developments? How did individuals make
use of new financial opportunities to further their own priorities
and ensure their families' well-being? What choices of securities
did they make, and how did these reflect their attitudes to
investment risk? What were the implications of a rapidly growing
investor population for corporate governance and the regulation of
markets? How significant is gender in understanding new patterns of
wealth holding and investment?
This interdisciplinary book brings together a range of leading
international scholars to answer these questions and to develop
important new research agendas. Foremost among these is a concern
for gender, with several of the chapters exploring the growing
importance of women within investment markets. These findings open
up dialogues between economic and financial historians with social,
gender, and feminist historians, and add a significant new
dimension to existing research on women's economic agency. The
volume also breaks fresh ground by analysing aspects of wealth
holding and finance in British colonial settings: Canada and
Australia. Understanding the extent to which global financial
processes shaped the economic lives of those on the 'periphery' as
well as at the 'heart' of empire will offer new insights into the
social and geographical diffusion of financial markets.
