Ashford HIS 311 Week 2 Discussion 1 Gender and Economic Life

Write. In an initial post of at least 250-300 words, explain how historians analyze gender as central to our understanding of economic activity. Using Chapter 3 as your launch point for general concepts, use your chosen reading to illustrate one of the following points with reference to a specific historical context. Remember to cite specific examples from the required reading and your chosen scholarly source in your response to one of the following points:

• How did gender shape the way work was defined and valued? Which activities had economic value? Which did not? Upon what basis were such distinctions made? How do definitions of work and its relative value change over time and place?

• How were gender-based, work-associated distinctions related to other realms of economic activity, such as access to property; control over productive capacities; access to education; or power within the family, social group, or wider society?

• How did different systems of production affect gendered divisions of labor? Consider a context such as slave labor, industrial production, or service economies to examine this issue.

• How did race or class intersect with gender in the realm of economic activity? Did socially defined racial, class, or gender differences affect ideas about types of work and its value? With what larger significance?
