Cicely Hamilton's Marriage as a Trade offers a sharp and insightful look at the economic realities facing women in 19th-century Great Britain. Examining marriage as a primary, if not only, avenue for women's financial security and social standing, Hamilton delves into the intricate dynamics of this trade.

This social history explores the limitations placed upon women's employment opportunities and the profound impact these limitations had on their lives and choices. Through careful analysis, the book sheds light on the societal structures that shaped women's roles and expectations within marriage and the broader social landscape.

A vital contribution to women's studies, Marriage as a Trade remains a relevant and thought-provoking examination of historical gender dynamics. It provides valuable context for understanding the evolution of women's roles and the ongoing struggle for economic independence. This edition brings Hamilton's important work back into circulation, meticulously prepared for a new readership interested in the social and economic history of women in 19th century Great Britain.
