Summary: "Working Life of Women in the Seventeenth Century" by Alice Clark is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work investigates the circumstances of women's lives during a pivotal era in English history, focusing specifically on their economic roles and contributions in a society transitioning from domestic and family industries to capitalism. The book aims to shed light on the everyday realities faced by women of various social classes, emphasizing how these dynamics influenced their positions within households and the broader community. The opening of the book introduces Alice Clark's investigation into the working lives of women in the 17th century, highlighting the importance of understanding this subject in the context of social and economic evolution. She discusses the historical neglect of women's roles in economic analysis, arguing for the need to seriously examine how their productive capacities were affected by changes in industry and society. Particularly, Clark emphasizes that women's roles were not static but transformed significantly due to various economic pressures and the emergence of capitalism, which shifted the responsibilities and societal expectations placed on married and unmarried women alike. In the early chapters, she outlines how industrialization and urbanization impacted the family unit, particularly focusing on the relationship between women's work, domestic duties, and their social influence.
