Abstract
Data on social status of women and their occupation entered into parish marriage registers have been quantified and analysed with an aim to establish and evaluate the trends in the women’s labour market and in the social structures of Dubrovnik in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The results show that at their marriage the majority of women were employed in the traditionally “female” occupations, while during the time period under analysis specific sectors exhibited increasing, that is, falling trends.
