Ebook: In a New Light: Histories of Women and Energy

Shining a light on women's work to power the home in a way rarely seen in histories of energy.

In a New Light explores the vital place of women in the shift to fossil fuels that spurred the Industrial Revolution, illuminating the variety of ways in which gender and energy intersected in women's lives in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe and North America. Together these essays deepen our understanding of the significance of gender in the history of energy, and of energy transitions in the history of women and gender.
