    Upon analysis of Martha Ballard’s diary during the period 1785 to 1790, it is revealed that the nature of women’s work in later eighteenth-century New England was strongly divided by gender.

However, the women in these times were strangely empowered through the informal economy they had created for themselves. These deductions are primarily supported by the evidence found through the entries in Martha’s diary.…
