# Thursday 25th April 2024, 5.00pm - Sara Pennell, University of Greenwich
'I can work all manner of Works': the meanings of labour in the works of Hannah Wolley (c.1622-74?)
Venue: History Faculty Room 11

My biographical work-in-progress on Hannah Wolley aims to resituate her as one of the pioneering commentators on seventeenth-century women’s vocational education and training. Wolley undertook this work from a position of experience, with a curriculum vitae that maps onto the changing opportunities for women like her either side of the Civil war and Interregnum eras. Her Guide for Ladies (1668) was a new type of conduct-cum-advice manual, with Wolley’s forthright views on women’s education front and centre. As a work about work by a working woman, it is a case study that allows us to reconfigure domestic and feminine skills away from the moral, towards the marketable in the later Stuart metropolis.
