本文探讨了富裕的中产阶级妇女的人口和地理重要性。它认为，在某些城镇和城市，特别是伦敦，这样的妇女有足够的重要性，值得关注的本身。根据遗嘱样本，它描述了这些妇女拥有的财富类型。通过研究女性对政府证券的投资，它认为女性的财富对英国国家至关重要。其研究结果挑战了对性别意识形态、财富持有和经济发展之间关系的传统理解。
This article examines the demographic and geographical importance of wealthy middle-class women. It argues that in certain towns and cities, notably London, such women were of sufficient importance to merit attention in their own right. Drawing upon a sample of wills, it describes the types of wealth owned by these women. By examining women's investment in government securities, it argues that women's wealth was of crucial importance to the British state. Its findings challenge conventional understandings of the relationships between gender ideology, wealth holding, and economic development.
