During the nineteenth century, European women of all countries and
social classes experienced dramatic and enduring changes in their
familial, working and political lives. However, the history of
women at this time is not one of unmitigated progress - theirs was
an uphill struggle, fraught with hindrances, hard work and economic
downturns, and the increasing intrusion of the public into their
innermost private and personal lives. Breaking away from
traditional categories, Rachel G. Fuchs and Victoria E. Thompson
provide a sense of the variety and complexity of women's lives
across national and regional boundaries, juxtaposing the
experiences of women with the perceptions of their lives. Three
themes unite this study: - the tension between tradition and
modernity - the changing relationship between the community and
individual - the shifting boundaries between public and private
Dealing with individual women's lives within a large social and
cultural context, Fuchs and Thompson demonstrate how strong and
courageous women refused to live within the prescribed domestic
roles - and how many became the modern women of the twentieth
century.
