      title = {Female entrepreneurs in the long nineteenth century : a  global perspective /},
      abstract = {nd reflect economic and cultural change." - Mary A.  Yeager, Professor Emerita, University of California, Los  Angeles This is the first book to consider  nineteenth-century businesswomen from a global perspective,  moving beyond European and trans-Atlantic frameworks to  include many other corners of the world. The women in these  pages, who made money and business decisions for themselves  rather than as employees, ran a wide variety of  enterprises, from micro-businesses in the 'grey market' to  large factories with international reach. They included  publicans and farmers, midwives and property developers,  milliners and plumbers, pirates and shopkeepers. Female  Entrepreneurs in the Long Nineteenth Century: A Global  Perspective rejects the notion that nineteenth-century  women were restricted to the home. Despite a variety of  legal and structural restrictions, they found ways to make  important but largely unrecognised contributions to  economies around the world - many in business. Their impact  on the economy and the economy's impact on them challenge  gender historians to think more about business and business  historians to think more about gender and create a global  history that is inclusive of multiple perspectives.
