"George Alter's study of women's lives in the Belgian textile city of Verviers will be of interest to historical demographers, historians of the family, and historians of women. It is not organized as a narrative history of a generation of women as they passed through the main events of life but rather as a set of research essays on women's life course."-Journal of Social HistoryMore details
