By examining how women present themselves as working class subjects in autobiographical writings of Nineteenth century England, author argues that even as relational subjectivity is constructive for women in the middle and/or upper-classes, Nineteenth century working women’s self-presentation as individuals mirror male centered subjectivity in notable ways due to their material circumstances. Working class women were socialized quite differently than middle class women, producing a hybrid subjectivity incorporating theories of both male and female development.
