A study of the seamstresses of late 17th and 18th-century France, who developed a quintessentially feminine occupation that became a major factor in the urban economy.
In contrast with scholarship on women and gender in the modern period, the author asserts that the rise of the absolute state, with its centralising and unifying tendencies, could actually increase women's economic, social, and legal opportunities and allow them to thrive in corporate organisations such as the guild.
