Synopsis
This book investigates the gender imbalance in Massachusetts in the 19th century. The author argues that the excess of women was due to the rise of the cotton manufacturing industry, which drew women into the workforce while simultaneously attracting men to other states. By examining census data and other historical sources, the author shows how the cotton industry led to a decline in the number of women working in agriculture and domestic service, and how this in turn led to an increase in the number of single women. It also discusses the social and economic consequences of the gender imbalance, such as the increasing number of women who were forced to work outside the home and the rise of prostitution.
