- 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
- Illustrated book about the history of tie-on pockets in Great Britain. Detachable pockets worn under the skirt were a commonplace accessory of dress of women throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Study and identification of nearly 390 surviving pockets, of fragile textiles, in museums and private collections in the United Kingdom is combined with evidence from sources like letters, diaries, criminal trials, inventories, novels, advertisements, paintings and satirical prints. This research on practices and materiality reveals pockets as socially and culturally embedded artefacts, makers and carriers of meaning and memory.
