DESCRIPTION:This paper utilizes a digitized version of the 100% sample of 
 1881 Census Enumerators' Books (hereafter CEBs) to investigate women's wor
 k by marital status in England and Wales. Prior to the availability of thi
 s 100% sample of 1881 CEBs in a machine-readable form\, analysis of women'
 s work by marital status in the nineteenth century was either done by usin
 g tabulated figures in a couple of published censuses or only a small numb
 er of CEBs confined to a small area. With the digitized 100% sample of CEB
 s in England and Wales\, this paper can offer a systematic analysis of wom
 en's work by marital status with a wide geographical coverage. The nominal
  data in the CEBs allow me to investigate the employment of single women\,
  married women and widows through various aspects of the household such as
  co-residence pattern and kin's occupation etc. This allows me to identify
  some of the important factors behind women's labour force participation.
