{"product_id":"emigrant-gentlewomen","title":"Emigrant Gentlewomen","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1979. This book examines the distressed gentlewoman stereotype, primarily through a study of the experience of emigration among single middle-class women between 1830 and 1914. Based largely on a study of government and philanthropic emigration projects, it argues that the image of the downtrodden resident governess does inadequate justice to Victorian middle-class women’s responses to the experience of economic and social decline and to insufficient female employment opportunities. This title will be of interest to students of history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44520896561390,"sku":"9781138642102","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138642102.jpg?v=1702042711","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/emigrant-gentlewomen","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
