Family Fortunes, published in 1987, is a seminal text in class and gender history that explores the middle-class family and its place in the development of capitalist society. It argues that gender and class need to be thought about together, and that class was always gendered and gender always classed. The third edition contains a new introductory section by Catherine Hall, reflecting on major developments in historical thinking and discussing the evolution of key themes such as the family.

First published to widespread critical acclaim in 1987, Family Fortunes has emerged as a seminal text in the fields of class and gender history, and its impact remains profound in the present day. The book delves into the realm of the middle-class family and its significance in the formation of capitalist society. It posits that gender and class cannot be viewed in isolation from each other, as they are intricately intertwined, with class always carrying a gendered dimension and gender always shaping class identities. The book is structured into three parts, each exploring different aspects. The first part examines religion and ideology, while the second part explores the economic structure and opportunities available to individuals. The third part focuses on gender in action through two primary case studies: the rural counties of Suffolk and Essex and the industrial town of Birmingham.
In this third edition, Catherine Hall has added a new introductory section, reflecting on significant developments in historical thinking over the past fifteen years and discussing the evolution of key themes such as the family. This volume offers critical insights into the perception of middle-class society and gender relations during the period from 1780 to 1850, making it an essential resource for students of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British social history.
