构建了1260至1850年英国非熟练女性工人的日工资和年合同日薪两个序列,与男性对比,发现女性仆役未享受黑死病后的黄金时代,且工业革命期间无法长时间工作的女性相对地位下降。

Abstract

This paper presents two wage-series for unskilled English women workers 1260–1850, one based on daily wages and one on the daily remuneration implied in annual contracts. The series are compared with each other and with evidence for men, informing several debates. Our findings suggest first that women servants did not share the post-Black Death “golden age” and so offer little support for a “girl-powered” economic breakthrough; and second that during the industrial revolution, women who were unable to work long hours lost ground relative to men and to women who could work full-time and fell increasingly adrift from any “High Wage Economy.”
