Both are vital to understanding the role women played in the industrial revolution in England. Jane Rendall draws upon the most recent work on the social history of the nineteenth century to consider the economic changes that brought new divisions of labour between the sexes in the working-class family and the growth of the ideal of 'separate spheres' for middle-class men and women. She shows how, by the end of the period, domestic labour, both paid and unpaid, and the responsibilities of motherhood has become the expected occupation of the majority of women.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements vi \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Women's Paid Employment 1750-1830 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWomen in the Countryside 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUrban Women: The Old Trades and the New Industries 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Women, the Family and Economic Change 1750-1830 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Working-Class Family: Conventions and Change 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiddle-Class Women and the Shaping of the Pre-Victorian Family: Domestic Ideology 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDomestic Practice in the Middle-Class Family 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Women's Paid Employment 1830-1880 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWomen in the Textile Trades 58\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWomen's Trades and the Growth of the Sweated Trades 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew Jobs for Women 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Domestic Life and Labour 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHousing in an Industrial Age 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Labor of Housework 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMotherhood 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDomestic Service 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences and Further Reading 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 108\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52475009106200,"sku":"9780631153030","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631153030.jpg?v=1785803455","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/women-in-an-industrializing-society-england-1750-1800-paperback-softback-9780631153030","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
