Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Iowa, 2002.

This dissertation examines the making and unmaking of gender ideologies among and about working folk in the Lancashire cotton industry during the early industrial revolution (c. 1770--1830). It seeks to address the cultural practice of gender in three sites; in social protest crowds and movements, in the chaotic world of business, and in the wider "public" arena, from folk songs and festive ritual to political journalism and Parliamentary inquiry. Its central question concerns the reach of the institutions and ideologies associated with "patriarchy," or male dominance, and "domesticity," or the assignment of female roles, duties, sensibilities and habits to the domestic "sphere;" in particular, it seeks to understand the ways in which such conventional norms and images were muddled and challenged in a particular context.

520 $a This dissertation examines the making and unmaking of gender ideologies among and about working folk in the Lancashire cotton industry during the early industrial revolution (c. 1770--1830). It seeks to address the cultural practice of gender in three sites; in social protest crowds and movements, in the chaotic world of business, and in the wider "public" arena, from folk songs and festive ritual to political journalism and Parliamentary inquiry. Its central question concerns the reach of the institutions and ideologies associated with "patriarchy," or male dominance, and "domesticity," or the assignment of female roles, duties, sensibilities and habits to the domestic "sphere;" in particular, it seeks to understand the ways in which such conventional norms and images were muddled and challenged in a particular context.
520 $a In order to assess the limits of "patriarchy" and "domesticity" among working folk, a variety of sources and perspectives have been used. The first part of the dissertation considers the matter of the protest crowd and the movements that arose from them, using the Home Office Papers, local and national periodicals, and various published memoirs and recollections. The second part considers the problem of the gender division of labor in the context of the year-to-year practice of business, largely from the perspective of the firm. It is based on extensive research in the papers of various firms in archives in Manchester and elsewhere. The final part ranges between folklore, "radical" journalism, and the inquiries and examinations of Parliament on matters related to the Lancashire cotton industry.
520 $a It argues that the images of working, talking and demanding were not nearly as clearly gendered as is generally supposed in much of the related historiography. The gender of protest was dominated by the androgynous crowd, and the "radical" institutions (political and economic) of the time struggled awkwardly with the problem of an androgynous "people" and the masculine "citizen" or "artisan." The facts of doing business, moreover, offered contradictory imperatives on the gendering of the workforce. The androgyny of the Lancastrian working classes, in turn, muddled the construction of patriarchal and domestic models in political and economic argument.
