She shows that while the family economy was based on the mutual dependence of male and female labour, there was not equality in productive relations. The male ownership of capital in the context of the family economy had significant implications for the control over female labour.Among countries which experience industrial development, there are common patterns in the impact of change on women?s work; there are also significant differences. One of the most important of these is the fact that economic development did not result in women?s labour being withdrawn from the social sphere of production. Rather, economic growth has steadily brought women?s productive efforts more directly into the market sphere. In exploring the roots of this development Cohen adds a new dimension to the study of women?s labour history. 410 0$aState and economic life ;$v11. 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zOntario$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSexual division of labor$zOntario$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aOntario$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment$xHistory 615 0$aSexual division of labor$xHistory 676 $a331.4/09713 700 $aCohen$b Marjorie Griffin$f1944-$0945233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459744903321 996 $aWomen's work, markets, and economic development in nineteenth-century Ontario$92260008 997 $aUNINA
