Through an intensive analysis of the social and economic impact of the expansion of this female-dominated industry, Gay Gullickson broadens our understanding of the variety and complexity of proto-industrial regions and of the proto-industrial processes. Focusing on the village of Auffay, located in the pays de Caux, a thriving agricultural region, Gullickson recreates the experiences of the women and men who spun and wove for the urban putting-out merchants. Social analysis of local memoirs, government reports, notarial and judicial records, and village cahiers de doléances, enables Gullickson to offer a more nuanced and accurate view of the causes and consequences of the expansion of the cottage textile industry in the pre-factory era. Her 1987 study is further enhanced by a quantitative analysis based primarily on the reconstitution of the families of the 727 couples who married in Auffay between 1750 and 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944728756512,"sku":"NEW0521522498","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-spinners-and-weavers-of-auffay-rural-industry-and-the-sexual-division-of-labor-in-a-french-village-0521522498","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
