This volume explores the role of women in business in nineteenth-century Northern French textile centers. Lille and the surrounding towns were then dominated by big and small family businesses, and many were run by women. Those women did not withdraw into the parlour as the century progressed and the ‘separate ideology’ spread. Neither did they become mere figure heads - most were business persons in their own rights. Yet, they have left almost no traces in the collective memory, and historians assume they ceased to exist. This book therefore seeks to answer three interrelated questions: How common were those women, and what kind of business did they run? What factors facilitated or impeded their activities? And finally, why have they been forgotten, and why has their representations in regional and academic history been so at odd with reality? Indirectly, this study also sheds light on the process of industrialization in this region, and on industrialists’ strategies.

Transmettre, hériter, succéder, autant de termes désignant la passation des biens, des pouvoirs et des responsabilités d'une génération à l'autre et, en même temps, l'acceptation par les héritiers du destin fixé par la coutume et la loi. Moment délicat en particulier pour les exploitations agricoles. Qui sera le ou les successeurs ? Qui sera le ou les héritiers ? Quand et comment cette désignation et cette transmission s'effectuent ? Quel est le sort des exclus de la succession ? Autant de questions importantes pour qui s'intéresse au passé mais aussi au présent des sociétés paysannes. Cet ouvrage rend compte des recherches les plus récentes concernant les modes de reproduction de la famille rurale en contexte d'urbanisation en France et au Québec du xviiie - xxe siècles. Il rassemble les actes d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu sur ce thème à Veyrier-du-Lac, en 1991.
