TAILIEUCHUNG - Women and their Money 1700–1950

This book examines women’s financial activity from the early days of the stock market in eighteenth-century England and the South Sea Bubble to the mid twentieth century. The essays demonstrate how many women managed their own finances despite legal and social restrictions and show that women were neither helpless, incompetent and risk-averse, nor were they unduly cautious and conservative. Rather, many women learnt about money and made themselves effective and engaged managers of the funds at their disposal | Women and their Money 1700-1950 Essays on women and finance Edited by Anne Laurence Josephine Maltby and Janette Rutterford Routledge International Studies in Business History Women and their Money 1700-1950 This book examines women s financial activity from the early days of the stock market in eighteenth-century England and the South Sea Bubble to the mid twentieth century. The essays demonstrate how many women managed their own finances despite legal and social restrictions and show that women were neither helpless incompetent and risk-averse nor were they unduly cautious and conservative. Rather many women learnt about money and made themselves effective and engaged managers of the funds at their disposal. The essays focus on Britain from eighteenth-century London to the expansion of British financial markets of the nineteenth century with comparative essays dealing with the United States Italy Sweden and Japan. Hitherto writing about women and money has been restricted to their management of household finances or their activities as small business women. This book examines the clear evidence of women s active engagement in financial matters much neglected in historical literature especially women s management of capital. This book charts the sheer extent of women s financial management and provides for economic social cultural and gender historians material grounded in empirical research essential for understanding women s place in capitalist societies.
