This book surveys women and work in English society before its
transition to industrial capitalism in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. The time span of the book from 1300 to 1800
allows comparison of women's work patterns across various phases of
economic and social organisation. It was originally published in
1985. Several important themes are highlighted throughout the
individual contributions in the book. The most significant is the
association between home and work. Not only was trade and
manufacture in the pre-industrial period carried out in close
proximity to domestic life, many household activities also
overlapped with commercial ones. The second key theme is the
importance of the local social and economic environment in shaping
the nature and extent of women's work. The book also demonstrates
the similarity between certain aspects of women's work before and
after industrialisation. The industrial revolution may have made
sexual divisions of labour more apparent but their origins lie
firmly in the pre-industrial period.
