My research replicates as far as possible a modern time-use study of England between 1700 and 1850. I am using data gathered from court records to explore how experiences of the industrial revolution differed by gender. Focusing on work and leisure, I am considering how specific activities were divided by gender, and how gender influenced the timing of these activities. I will compare my results to other available research in order to contribute to broader debates about how the impacts of industrialisation and economic development differ by gender.
