The debate on the origins of modern gender norms continues unabated
across the academic disciplines. This book adds an important and
hitherto neglected dimension. Focusing on rural life and its
values, the author argues that the modern ideal of separate spheres
originated in the era of the Enlightenment. Prior to the eighteenth
century, cultural norms prescribed active, interdependent economic
roles for both women and men. Enlightenment economists transformed
these gender paradigms as they postulated a market exchange system
directed exclusively by men. By the early nineteenth century, the
emerging bourgeois value system affirmed the new civil society and
the market place as exclusively male realms. These standards
defined women's options largely as marriage and motherhood.
