Opportunities presented by the changing commercial character of Salisbury in the nineteenth century were exploited by single women, by widows and by married women, working on their own or in family enterprises.
Retail trades, hospitality and other service industries were the main locations of their contribution as producers and suppliers. This online talk will introduce some examples of women who were active participants, despite the Victorian ideal that men should support their wives and families.
Jane Howells’ special interest is ‘local women’s history’, which is the subject of her PhD thesis (2007) and many conference papers, articles, and talks. She is a member of the steering committee of West of England & South Wales Women’s History Network; and has been the editor of the British Association for Local History News for many years.
