Description for European Women and Preindustrial Craft
Paperback. Good clean copy showing light shelf wear, remains a nice copy
These essays examine key eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European industries - the production of verdigris, linen, and silk; spinning, weaving, lacemaking, embroidery; calico painting; and the lingerie trade. Focusing on links between women's preindustrial craft production and nineteenth-century heavy industrialization, this volume shows how women adopted new technology in certain situations and rejected it in others, helping maintain social peace during profound economic dislocation. The contributors are: Reed Benhamou, Pierre Caspard, Walter Endrei and Rachel P. Maines, Daryl M. Hafter, Inger Jonsson, Tessie P. Liu, Jean H. Quataert, Patrizia Sione, John F. Sweets, and Whitney Walton.
