The Woman's Labour - Mary Collier - Bog

When Stephen Duck's The Thresher's Labour was published in 1730, it was a sensation - but Mary Collier was astounded to read Duck's dismissal of women, and she penned a stinging riposte, which reframed Duck's relation of harvest-time toil from a woman's perspective. This edition includes Duck's The Thresher's Labour and other pieces by Collier.
