Make Your Way As A Woman In Eighteenth-Century England

Our goal is to provide a sense of what life was like for a woman in 18th century England. We have designed a series of choices that take the user to relevant historical information. Read through the introductory information and make a decision at the bottom of the page. What action you choose takes you down a different trajectory of choices. By putting the user in control, we hope that the historical data will be accessible and interesting. All footnotes and other reference information can be accessed by clicking on the small numbers in the text. There will be an option for returning to this page at the end of your series of choices. We suggest that you restart the decision process and make a different series of choices. These situations may not directly parallel any one specific person but these choices do represent what kind of conditions that women faced during this time frame.
