Pattern of employment for women in 18th-19th century London. (i) In late 18th and 19th century, a large number of women were employed in factories. With technological developments, women gradually lost their industrial jobs and were forced to work within households. According to 1861 census about one-fourth of a million women worked as domestic servants in London-most of them were from migrant families. (ii) Many women increased their family income by taking lodgers or paying guests or earned through tailoring, washing or matchbox making.
