Gender and nationality are two important categories impacting upon individuals’ economic opportunities, often in tandem. Data provided by Eurostat shows that, in 2017, the employment rate among native-born men in the twenty-eight member states of the European Union was higher, at 78.3 per cent, than among foreign-born men, at 75.9 per cent. Native-born women were markedly worse off than both male groups, with a figure of 67.7 per cent. Lower still than the employment rates for foreign-born men and native-born women were those for foreign-born women, at 58.9 per cent. 2 This so-called ‘double disadvantage’, with immigrant women experiencing the adverse consequences of both their gender and nationality, continues to be observed in many other parts of the world as well. 3 Since the 1990s, the interplay between immigration, gender and economic opportunity has also been the subject of a growing number of historical studies. 4 In the first edition of Moving Europeans, her overview of European migration from 1650 to the present, published in 1992, Leslie Page Moch still deplored that ‘of all individual characteristics that influence the migration experience, gender is perhaps the most fundamental but least systematically explored’. 5 By the time the second edition of her synthesis came out, in 2003, she already had to acknowledge that ‘much of the new work... is sensitive to the differences between the experiences of men and women’, particularly when studying the connection between migration and labour. 6 The field has only expanded further ever since. Adopting frameworks from the social sciences and driven by feminist scholarship, historians have explored male and female immigrants’ access to the labour market, their working lives and remuneration, as well as their relationship to native workers. 7 What the majority of these studies has revealed is that, also throughout history, the economic patterns of immigrant women differed from those of immigrant men and those of native men and women. Yet, even after nearly thirty years of scholarship on the subject, substantial lacunae remain. While a myriad of studies on the link between immigration, gender and work are now available for the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, much less has been done on the early modern period and later Middle Ages.
