The Ellen McArthur Lectures 2016. Gendering Economic History. Professor Jane Humphries. Lecture 1 Women, work and wages: from the Black Death to the industrial revolution
Thursday, 19 May, 2016
Eve also Delved: Gendering Economic History, Professor Jane Humphries, Ellen McArthur Lectures 2016 Women from all times and regions will be seen about their daily lives, at work and at home, in these 4 lectures. New sources will be used to reconstruct and analyze their many productive contributions to their families and communities. Snapshots in time and micro studies underpin a more general account which can then be related to the grand narratives of British economic history. I will argue that we need to acknowledge the productive activities of women and children to build not only a more complete but a more correct economic history.
