| Abstract: | The Lancashire women cotton workers were the best paid, most highly unionized female manual workers in Britain whose non-domestic way of life contravened Victorian domesticity. The paper examines the conditions that made possible their mobilization. It analyzes how during early industrialism these women breached men's job monopolies, participated in communal protests and established unconventional family arrangements; how late nineteenth- century material and cultural ameliorations amplified their resources. |
