DESCRIPTION:*3. History from underneath: women and girls’ experience in 
 the era of industrialisation*\n\nLecture 3 also builds on earlier work\, i
 n this case using working-class autobiographies to uncover the experiences
  of families which lived through the industrial revolution.  My 2010 book 
 used proletarian life writing to uncover aspects of work and family life i
 naccessible through conventional historical sources.  But all 600 plus acc
 ounts were authored by men and so presented an exclusively male perspectiv
 e.  In the lecture I will draw on women’s stories to provide female refl
 ections on childhood\, child labour\, schooling\, parenting and family lif
 e\, looking particularly at the ways in which experience was gendered and 
 speculating about its implications for our understanding of the division o
 f labour and the cultural power of gender in post-industrial society.
