In this lively social history of gender roles, Robert Shoemaker examines continuity and change in the spheres of men and women in family life and in public activity before and after the Industrial Revolution. He provides an important synthesis of the latest research and critically re-examines the prevailing view that women had greater economic and political opportunities in pre-industrial England.
