Entangled Lives: Labor, Livelihood, and Landscapes of Change in Rural Massachusetts

"This is a localized study of social history about women who lived in the late eighteenth century in Hadley, Massachusetts. Specifically, it studies the work they did and how that work fit into the local economy. The author investigates the social openings and opportunities that work created for women, the vital place of women in the local economy, and the boundaries that women's work created."--
