Description
Summary:"A pioneering work of digital humanities, this work is based on an innovative methodology of data collection. Offers new perspectives on gender and everyday work in early modern society, including household, unpaid, and hidden labor. Sheds light on the economic contributions of women in society not based on occupational titles. Offers quantitative analysis alongside stories about ordinary people and their predicaments. Digital methodology has been presented at conferences internationally. Not a traditional edited volume, this is a collectively written book by the Gender and Work Project Group at Uppsala University."
