1. Attention to women’s experience and women’s contribution to social and economic life began to surface in French historiography in the 1970s. For example: John Wallach Scott and Louise Tilly, Women, Work, and Family (New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1978); Olwen Hufton, “Women and the Family Economy in Eighteenth-Century France,” French Historical Studies 9, no.1 (spring 1975); Natalie Zemon Davis, “‘Women's History’ in Transition: The European Case,” Feminist Studies, Vol. 3, No. 3/4 (Spring - Summer, 1976).

2. The editors themselves cite a number of works published in the past few decades that attempt to move away from the family economy model, including the work of Sara Maza, Cissie Fairchilds, and Claire Crowston, among others. See Hafter and Kushner, 6–8.
