Extract
I have invested just over a decade of my career to these women capitalists and in the process I have become happily indebted to many scholars, archivists, and institutions. I would like to thank the archivists and librarians who have assisted me with this project, most notably the staff of the Henry E. Huntington Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the British Library, the National Archives at Kew, the Bank of England Archives, the London Metropolitan Archives, and the Nottinghamshire County Archives.
I very much appreciate the monetary investments some have made in me and my research. Much of the research for this book was funded by a Peter and Helen Bing Endowed Fellowship in 2007–8 and another short-term fellowship in 2010–11 from the Henry E. Huntington Library, as well as a short-term fellowship from the Folger Shakespeare Library in 2013–14. UMBC’s History department provided me with funds for research trips to archives in Britain, as did the Herbert Bearman Foundation, which awarded me the Bearman Foundation Chair in Entrepreneurship for 2007–10. UMBC’s College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences provided me with a semester off from teaching to finish writing a draft of this book in 2013.
