Abstract

This chapter investigates female entrepreneurship in the retail trades of Moscow during the first half of the nineteenth century. In this period, Moscow was one of the biggest European cities and, with its province, was the most commercially developed region of Russia. Drawing on trade statistics and inventories from 1827, Ulianova provides a rich and detailed picture of a group of Moscow female shopkeepers. The combination of statistical and biographical approaches makes it possible to explore the structure and space of consumption and the social composition of female traders over the course of the period under consideration. Ulianova concludes that female entrepreneurship in retail was widespread and that the role played by businesswomen was modest but stable.
