The essays collected in this volume reflect the upsurge of
interest in the research and writing of feminist history in the
1970s/80s and illustrate the developments which have taken place in
the types of questions asked, the methodologies employed, and the
scope and sophistication of the analytical approaches which have
been adopted.
Focusing on women in nineteenth-century Britain and America,
this book includes work by scholars in both countries and takes its
place in a long history of Anglo-American debate. The collection
adopts 'the doubled vision of feminist theory', the view that it is
the simultaneous operation of relations of class and of sex/gender
that perpetuate both patriarchy and capitalism. This view informs a
wide variety of contributions from 'Class and Gender in Victorian
England', to 'Servants, Sexual Relations and the Risks of
Illegitimacy', 'Free Black Women', 'The Power of Women s Networks',
and 'Socialism, Feminism and Sexual Antagonism in the London
Tailoring Trade'. Both the vigour and the urgency of scholarship
infused with social aims can be clearly felt in the essays
collected here.
