Description
"Spinning the Threads of Uneven Development shows how variations in the gender division of labor - within and between households - led to different patterns of local and regional development during protoindustrialization, and to the transition to industrial capitalism, using the Irish linen industry as a substantive case study. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from census records to folk poetry, Jane Gray develops a dynamic model of gender that links the allocation of labor within households to macro-socioeconomic change. Expanding on recent literature of the salience on gender in the Irish political economy, Spinning the Threads of Uneven Development is important reading for social and economic historians as well as those interested in the role of gender in economic development and Irish history."--Jacket.
