Description

This scholarly work examines female agency in eighteenth-century European towns, positioning women's activities and decisions within institutional, legal, and social frameworks that shaped urban life. The book explores how gender politics, town regulations, police enforcement, and guild rules complicated and defined working women's everyday experiences and participation in the urban economy. By analysing the formally recognised but often limited legal power of women, the author demonstrates how customary practices and official regulations restricted female economic participation whilst simultaneously revealing spaces where women exercised agency and influence. Essential for historians, gender studies scholars, and anyone interested in understanding how women navigated and contributed to urban economies across early modern Europe, this volume provides nuanced insights into the intersection of gender, law, and economic activity during a transformative period in European history.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and History series, offering scholarly depth on women's historical experiences in urban settings.

Focuses on the period 1640-1830 across European towns, providing comparative insights into female economic participation across regions and centuries.

Examines institutional and legal frameworks including guild regulations, police powers, and town customs that shaped women's economic agency.

Explores the tension between formal legal recognition and actual restrictions placed upon women's economic activities and participation.

Combines institutional history with gender analysis to reveal how women exercised agency despite structural limitations in urban economies.
