DESCRIPTION:Economic modernization is understood as the process by which s
 ocieties moved from peasant to urban\, and production and employment from 
 agricultural to industrial. The main indicators of this transition are the
  share of GDP originated by the industrial and service sectors\, and the s
 hare of population in non-agricultural\, i.e.\, industrial and service\, o
 ccupations.This paper does two things: first\, it calculates women's parti
 cipation in 18th century inland Spain\, thus contributing to knowledge on 
 women's work and on labor market segregation by gender in pre-industrial E
 urope. Secondly\, it shows that taking into account women's paid work tran
 sforms our vision of the structure of employment in preindustrial times\, 
 and thus the conventional vision of how economic and social modernization 
 occurred.
