The Ten Hours Movement and the Working-Class Family in Mid-Nineteenth Century Britain
The Ten Hours Movement of the 1830s and 1840s in Britain was the first large-scale working-class struggle to challenge the impact of industrial capitalism upon working-class family life. Yet its discourse on family has been relatively neglected by historians of the movement. This article examines the nature of the movement's critique, the vision of family life that it tried to realize, and the challenge that this posed to the emerging bourgeois o…

The Ten Hours Movement and the Rights of Childhood
It is generally accepted that sustained public discussion of children’s rights is of relatively recent origin. In this article I endeavour to demonstrate that a powerful discourse of children’s rights emerged in Britain in the 1830s in connection with the campaign of the Ten Hours Movement to limit the hours of labour of children in the textile industries. The Movement asserted that factory children, no less than those more privileged, had rights…

The rise and decline of the 'male breadwinner family' in Britain
This paper examines changes in the historical 'compact' around the male breadwinner family (MBWF) in Britain. The rise of the MBWF produced a 'compact' covering the sexual division of labour, the economic support of family members, the distribution of time and the regulation of marriage and parenthood. Its decline has been accompanied by an erosion of each dimension of this compact, which has reduced gender inequalities but produced other problem…
The 'Family Wage' as a Class-Rational Strategy
This paper re-examines the debate about the class rationality of the working-class demand for a family wage and argues that this issue cannot be resolved without considering the feasibility of alternative strategies. Existing accounts are criticized for their unrealistic treatment of these alternatives and the constraints upon them and particularly for their neglect of the influence of the policies of employers and the state upon working-class st…
The Rise of the Male Breadwinner Family: A Reappraisal
During the last two decades there has been intense debate over the causes of the domestic subordination of women within industrial-capitalist societies. A significant part of this discussion has involved attempts to understand the emergence of a form of family organisation in which the husband was expected to be the main, preferably the sole, bread-winner and his wife was to assume responsibility for running the household, preferably on a full-ti…
Richard Oastler, Factory Legislation and the Working-Class Family
This article argues that much recent writing on the development of the ideology of domesticity within the working class and the role in this of struggles for protective legislation suffers from undue neglect of class interests in the construction of family life. As a contribution to a fuller account of the interaction of class and gender concerns, a case study is presented of the analysis of the family, gender and laissez-faire capitalism contain…

Family, property and relations of production in Western Europe
This paper addresses itself to a number of problems involved in the theorisation of family structures. A variety of existing sociological and historical approaches are criticised for methodological and conceptual inadequacies, and for their neglect of property relations as a crucial factor in constituting family structures. The paper develops the contention that family structures and their transformation can be understood only in relation to prop…
