Beskrivning

This book focuses on the interfaces between women and work and/or women at work, across the eighteenth-century French speaking world, primarily in text (private, historical, literary)and art. How did women retain agency through their work? These essays explore this question and underscore the value of analysing work by women, revealing why this is important in both eighteenth- and twenty-first-century contexts. Contributors identify underlying, recurrent themes, such as networking and community, which underpin the studies in this book, and which resonate powerfully in today's world.

Recensioner i media

“The richness of this work lies in the sheer variety of specific cases studied, which permit readers to discover the diversity of activities in which women engaged in work, whether by choice or by necessity. Regardless of women’s social status, whether maids or aristocrats, these collected essays highlight shared issues faced by all women and which still resonate strongly in the modern world.”
