The cottage industry of France enjoyed enormous growth from the
mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Through an intensive
analysis of the social and economic impact of the expansion of this
female-dominated industry, Gay Gullickson broadens our
understanding of the variety and complexity of proto-industrial
regions and of the proto-industrial processes. Focusing on the
village of Auffay, located in the pays de Caux, a thriving
agricultural region, Gullickson recreates the experiences of the
women and men who spun and wove for the urban putting-out
merchants. Social analysis of local memoirs, government reports,
notarial and judicial records, and village cahiers de doleances,
enables Gullickson to offer a more nuanced and accurate view of the
causes and consequences of the expansion of the cottage textile
industry in the pre-factory era. Her 1987 study is further enhanced
by a quantitative analysis based primarily on the reconstitution of
the families of the 727 couples who married in Auffay between 1750
and 1850.
