Jarvis Book Cover

Please join the Department of History at a  reception to celebrate the work of Professor Katie Jarvis, with an introduction by Clare Crowston, Professor and Chair, Department of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Politics in the Marketplace: Work, Gender, and Citizenship in Revolutionary France integrates politics, economics, and gender to ask how Parisian market women invented notions of citizenship through everyday trade during the French Revolution. This book analyzes how marketplace actors shaped nascent democracy and capitalism and, in doing so, challenges the interpretation that revolutionary citizenship was inherently masculine from the outset.
