Opis

In this study of the working women of Belgium Patricia Penn Hilden argues that the success of Belgium's industrial revolution was uniquely dependent on female labor. She examines the widespread participation of Belgian women in the labor market, and explores their role in the emergent politics of Belgium's working class, making a valuable contribution to our understanding of socialism and feminism, labor history, and the history of Belgium.

Recenzje

In this book Patricia Penn Hilden shakes the foundations of the received wisdom about the withdrawal of women from work during industrialization. Hilden has written an absorbing, informative, convincingly argued book ... this is a major work, which successfully situates women at the centre of labour history and social history.
