What does this passage about male Manchester weavers (a type of factory worker in the 1840s) have to say about intersectionality of class and gender? Stubborn, silent, reserved men on many things, you have only to touch on the subject of birds to light up their faces with brightness. They will tell you who won the prizes at the last canary show, where the prize birds may be seen, and give you all the details of those funny, but pretty and interesting mimicries of great people's [upper-class well-to-do farmers'] cattle shows. (Gaskell 6-7)
