Do You like book The Gentleman's Daughter: Women's Lives In Georgian England (2003)?
Really interesting and thorough, if also dense, examination of "genteel" women's lives in the eighteenth century: courtship, marriage, separation, childbirth, public diversion, housekeeping, education, business, are all covered. This edition has some rather unaccountable typographical problems, mostly to do with a lack of commas (or commas where there should be semicolons), which makes it difficult to read, but if you're into social history or the eighteenth century at all--literarily as well as historically--it's well worth it.

This is a spectacular book of historical research into the lives of middle class Georgian women. Taking a sample of women in the Lancashire area, it uses letters, diaries, accounts and pocketbooks to build a picture of genteel lives in which marriage was the most dangerous and crucial decision faced in life. A mix of sad and satisfying lives are documented, along with the kinds of insights and facts that a novelist could not imagine (and the illustrations are also fascinating and beautiful). I loved it and use it as a regular reference book. The bibliography and footnotes are also excellent, leading to yet more delights and the chance to explore some wonderful primary sources.
