摘要

中世纪晚期的考文垂吸引了众多迁入的单身女性,以至于它看起来像是一座女性之城--每十名女性中只有七名男性。这些从农民变成城镇妇女的人中,有的靠做工、佣人或妓女养活自己,但吸引大多数妇女来到这座城市的是对她们作为纺纱工人的需求。考文垂的商人和主人需要纺纱女工的工作,但又痛惜妇女的自主性,他们试图将这些纺纱女工推入城市固定家庭的监督下生活,并取得了相当大的成功。考文垂单身女纺纱工的经历表明,"女仆 "有时也是产业工人;早在新教出现之前,单身妇女就已被纳入 "小共同体";"女孩的力量 "更多地是为了经济增长,而非赋予妇女权力。

Needed but Deplored: Spinners and Singlewomen in Industrial Coventry, c.1490–1525
Late medieval Coventry attracted so many in-migrating singlewomen that it might have seemed a city of women — for every ten women, only seven men. Some of these peasants-turned-townswomen supported themselves as labourers, domestic servants or prostitutes, but it was the demand for their industrial labour as spinners of cloth-yarn and cap-yarn that drew most women to the city. Coventry’s merchants and masters, who needed spinners’ work but deplored women’s autonomy, tried with considerable success to push these spinners into supervised living within the city’s established households. The experiences of Coventry’s singlewoman-spinners show that ‘maidservants’ were sometimes industrial workers; that singlewomen were corralled into ‘little commonwealths’ well before Protestantism; and that ‘girl power’ was more about economic growth than the empowerment of women.
