Special issue "Technological Change, Mechanisation, and the Reactions of Craftsmen and Workers in Mediterranean Europe, 19th–20th Centuries".
Guest Editor: Leda Papastefanaki

We welcome papers on a wide range of topics related to women’s labour which takes particularly the company and company-level archives as its primary level of analysis. We also welcome papers that explicitly consider the distinct nature of female wage workers and female entrepreneurs, i.e. research on women working for a company or women who own their own company. We welcome scholars working on the following questions:
 1) How has the nature and extend of the gender wage gap changed over time (for instance looking at the difference between piece and time rates);
 2) How do masculinization or feminization of specific occupations, i.e. the extend of occupational segregation, change over time and why?
 3) How and when did women choose entrepreneurship compared to wage work? Can this explain the long-term development of female entrepreneurship?
 These questions are not exclusive. We also welcome methodological papers that consider the structure, pitfalls, and usefulness of company archives for women’s labour history. We strive for a broad geographical coverage, and we are interested in papers that cover the 19th and 20th centuries.

The editors of the Economic History Review invite you to join an online workshop on ‘Living Standards: Measurements and Debates’, which will discuss three recent papers and their implications for further research in the field.

A programme and registration are available on the event website: https://ehs.org.uk/event/echr-workshop-living-standards-measurements-and-debates/
