Politics in the Marketplace

Work, Gender, and Citizenship in Revolutionary France

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Politics in the Marketplace integrates politics, economics, and gender to ask how the Dames des Halles invented notions of citizenship through everyday trade during the French Revolution. While analyzing how marketplace actors shaped nascent democracy and capitalism, it challenges the interpretation that revolutionary citizenship was inherently masculine from the outset.
