{"product_id":"womens-concerns-jill-jepson-9781433104237","title":"Women's Concerns: Twelve Women Entrepreneurs of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries","description":"In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women's businesses - from small local concerns to financial empires - offered women independence, supported their families, and supplied essential goods and services to their communities and the world. They also contributed to much-needed legal and social change and set the stage for the female entrepreneurs who would come later. All this was accomplished despite immense financial barriers, an inequitable legal system, and the widely held belief that women had no business in business. \u003ci\u003eWomen's Concerns\u003c\/i\u003e explores the lives of twelve women who owned and operated businesses in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It focuses on the ways they created personal and public identities and managed the contradictions between their entrepreneurial ambitions and deeply entrenched attitudes about women's roles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Jepson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433104237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433104237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 87","brand":"Jill Jepson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46806979608831,"sku":"9781433104237","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5a910b3-2a8c-4e19-a1b2-50147b595ea3.jpg?v=1745378225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-concerns-jill-jepson-9781433104237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
