DESCRIPTION:My biographical work-in-progress on Hannah Wolley aims to resi
 tuate her as one of the pioneering commentators on seventeenth-century wom
 en’s vocational education and training. Wolley undertook this work from 
 a position of experience\, with a curriculum vitae that maps onto the chan
 ging opportunities for women like her either side of the Civil war and Int
 erregnum eras. Her Guide for Ladies (1668) was a new type of conduct-cum-a
 dvice manual\, with Wolley's forthright views on women's education front a
 nd centre. As a work about work by a working woman\, it is a case study th
 at allows us to reconfigure domestic and feminine skills away from the mor
 al\, towards the marketable in the later Stuart metropolis.
