The Woman Who Wasn't There: Women's Market Labor and the Transition to Capitalism in the United States
Female wage-earners occupy an anomalous position in the story of the transition to capitalism in the United States. On the one hand, historians have documented the presence of large numbers of women in paid labor by the 1830s, specifically in key sectors of the new northeastern industrial labor force: textiles, shoe-making, and the early garment industry.' On the other hand, women and their paid work are virtually absent from narratives of the la…

The Limits of Sisterhood: The Beecher Sisters on Women's Rights and Woman's Sphere
In a century almost continually at odds with the proper place of females, Catherine Esther Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Isabella Beecher Hooker shared a commitment to women's power. Although they did not always agree on the nature of that power, each in her own way--Catherine as educator and author of advice literature; Harriet as author of novels, tales, and sketches; and Isabella as a women's rights advocate--devoted much of her adult li…
