SUMMARY:Patterns of female employment in the Pays de Caux and the Perche\,

DESCRIPTION:The paper begins by exploring the sources available for full r
 econstructions of the female and male occupational structures of proto-ind
 ustrial textile regions of France\, and makes a case for the use of revolu
 tionary population listings and nineteenth-century population censuses. Da
 ta on female and male labour force participation rates and sectoral distri
 butions then enables an exploration of patterns of women's work and their 
 determinants\, in relation with broader debates on the 'French path' to in
 dustrialisation. Comparison with the British case suggests that data on wo
 men's work could be integral to our understanding of processes of modern e
 conomic growth\, and force us to redefine current understandings of 'indus
 trialisation' and its chronology.
