Eleanor Gordon is a historian of modern Britain whose work focuses on gender, family life, and working class experience. Her research examines how social norms and legal systems shaped intimate relationships, labor, and everyday life in industrial society. She is the author of "Working-Class Courtship, Marriage, and Divorce in Scotland, 1855–1939," published by Oxford University Press in 2025, which draws on court records and archival sources to analyze patterns of courtship, marital conflict, and divorce among working class Scots. Gordon has also published studies on women’s labor, household structures, and social change in 19th and early 20th century Britain.
