This hitherto ‘hidden’ group of women accountants is explored through a biographical study of housing reformer Octavia Hill. It is revealed that in her early life Octavia Hill practised accounting as the manager of a craft workshop, college secretary and manager of a household. She also taught bookkeeping. Octavia Hill's application of accounting in housing management was founded on contemporary notions of order, hierarchical accountability, debt avoidance, the importance of detail and accuracy, and concepts of stewardship and trust. The manner in which Octavia Hill employed accounting as a technique of watching, disciplining and improving her tenants is also examined. There follows an analysis of the relationship between Octavia Hill's accounting and prevailing concepts of domesticity and gendered spheres. The importance of accounting in the feminised profession of housing management during the interwar period is also discussed. Other examples illustrative of the importance of accounting to women's philanthropic endeavour are alluded to.","PeriodicalId":399197,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Business & Financial History","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116534152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of the APD offices was to manage the pay and allowances of soldiers of the British Army, using the ‘Dover’ system of military finance and accounting which had been introduced in 1905 along with the command structure of the Army Finance Branch. The flexible ‘Dover’ system coped with the unprecedented increase in bureaucracy as the strength of the army rose from 140,000 in 1914 to over 5 million by 1918. The mainstay of the survival and efficiency of the ‘Dover’ system was the employment of women in the APD establishments. Previous research involving the role of women in wartime has mainly focused on working-class women who worked within the munitions industry (Marwick, 1977; Braybon, 1981; Thom, 2000), although Zimmeck (1986: pp. 145–172) has previously researched into women who were employed by the General Post Office (GPO) and its Savings Bank Department from 1870 to 1914. No research has previously been conducted into the role of women employed in an accounting or clerical function within the army pay offices during the Great War. The wartime role of female staff employed in APD establishments, as with their women colleagues who worked in the munitions industry, relates to the concept of the Reserve Army of Labour. The ‘feminisation’ of accounting and bookkeeping (Anderson, 1986; Walker, 2003), did not occur until after the Great War.","PeriodicalId":399197,"journal":{"name":"Accounting, Business & Financial History","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128875414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
