Abstract

This chapter introduces the theme of our study: how colonial connections impacted women’s work and household living standards in two parts of the Dutch Empire—the Netherlands and Java—in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It provides an overview of the relevant debates in the international economic history literature and introduces several important concepts, along with the sources and methods this study has employed. This chapter also sets the stage for the rest of this book by illustrating how the metropole and the colony were in many ways similar at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but diverged notably in the course of the colonial period.
