Description

This ground-breaking book reveals the economic reality of ordinary women between the late 16th and early 18th centuries.

Drawing on little-known sources, Amy Louise Erickson reconstructs day-to-day lives, showing how women owned, managed and inherited property on a scale previously unrecognised.

Her complex and fascinating research, which contrasts the written laws with the actual practice, completely revises the traditional picture of women's economic status in pre-industrial England.

Women and Property is essential reading for anyone interested in women, law and the past.
