Line In current historiography, the picture of a consistent,
unequivocal decline in women’s status with the advent
of capitalism and industrialization is giving way to an
analysis that not only emphasizes both change (whether
(5) improvement or decline) and continuity but also
accounts for geographical and occupational variation.
The history of women’s work in English farmhouse
cheese making between 1800 and 1930 is a case in
point. In her influential Women Workers and the Industrial
(10) Revolution (1930), Pinchbeck argued that the agricultural
revolution of the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries, with its attendant specialization and enlarged
scale of operation, curtailed women’s participation in
the business of cheese production. Earlier, she
(15) maintained, women had concerned themselves with
feeding cows, rearing calves, and even selling the
cheese in local markets and fairs. Pinchbeck thought
that the advent of specialization meant that women’s
work in cheese dairying was reduced simply to
(20) processing the milk. “Dairymen” (a new social category)
raised and fed cows and sold the cheese through
factors, who were also men. With this narrowing of the
scope of work, Pinchbeck believed, women lost
business ability, independence, and initiative.
(25) Though Pinchbeck portrayed precapitalist,
preindustrial conditions as superior to what followed,
recent scholarship has seriously questioned the notion
of a golden age for women in precapitalist society. For
example, scholars note that women’s control seldom
(30) extended to the disposal of the proceeds of their
work. In the case of cheese, the rise of factors may
have compromised women’s ability to market cheese
at fairs. But merely selling the cheese did not
necessarily imply access to the money: Davidoff cites
(35) the case of an Essex man who appropriated all but a
fraction of the money from his wife’s cheese sales.
By focusing on somewhat peripheral operations,
moreover, Pinchbeck missed a substantial element
of continuity in women’s participation: throughout the
(40) period women did the central work of actually
making cheese. Their persistence in English cheese
dairying contrasts with women’s early disappearance
from arable agriculture in southeast England and
from American cheese dairying. Comparing these
(45) three divergent developments yields some reasons
for the differences among them. English cheese-
making women worked in a setting in which cultural
values, agricultural conditions, and the nature of
their work combined to support their continued
(50) participation. In the other cases, one or more of
these elements was lacking.
