The literature finds  a high degree of economic mobility for men in the 19th century in comparison to today. However, due to data limitations, changes in female economic mobility over time are not well understood. Using a set of marriage certificates from Massachusetts over the period of 1850-1910, we link men and women to their childhood and adult Census records to obtain a measure of occupational standing across two generations. We find that women are more mobile than men between 1850-1880. Between 1880-1910, men's mobility increases to converge with that of women. We also find evidence of increased assortative mating in the second cohort. Using a structural model, we show that absent the increase in marital sorting, married women would have experienced the same increases in intergenerational mobility as did men in the sample.
