- Description
- The first British women to set foot in India did so in the early seventeenth century. They went and practiced several professions including traders. As wives, prostitutes and she-merchants, they were fearless and their voyages to India adventurous. This book uncovers stories of hundreds of women who made their way across the sea and changed history. For example, Charlotte Barry who in 1783 left London a high-class courtesan and arrived in India as Mrs. William Hickey, a married 'lady' and Mrs. Hudson who in 1617 was refused as a trader in indigo by the East Indian Company and instead turned a penny in cloth.

- Description
- Norton traces the shift in attitudes toward women’s participation in public affairs to the age’s cultural arbiters, including John Dunton, editor of the Athenian Mercury, a popular 1690s periodical that promoted women’s links to husband, family, and household. The influential authors Richard Steele and Joseph Addison (in the Tatler and the Spectator) advanced the notion that women’s participation in politics was absurd. They and many imitators on both sides of the Atlantic argued that women should confine themselves to home and family, a position that American women themselves had adopted by the 1760s. Colonial women incorporated the novel ideas into their self-conceptions: during such 'private' activities as sitting around a table drinking tea, they worked to define their own lives. On the cusp of the American Revolution, Norton concludes, a newly gendered public-private division was firmly in place
