Uncovers the vital yet often hidden roles women played in households, industries, and paid employment throughout history.
A History of Women's Work explores the often overlooked contributions of women throughout history, particularly in a patriarchal society where men have dominated the historical record. While men were more likely to leave traces - through wills, leases, and civic duties - women laboured behind the scenes, performing crucial yet unpaid tasks for their families and communities. In many households, women supported their husbands' work, ran home-based industries, or sought paid employment despite societal restrictions.
This book delves into three main areas of women's work: household tasks, home industries, and paid employment outside the home. Through case studies and practical research tips, it sheds light on the lives of these women, encouraging readers to uncover their own female ancestors' stories and contribute to a richer understanding of women's history.
