Summary:This collection offers a variety of approaches to aspects of women's lives. It moves beyond men's prescriptive pronouncements about female nature to women's lived experiences, replacing the singular woman with plural women and illuminating female agency. The contributors show that women's lives changed over the life course and differed according to region and social class. They also demonstrate that in the early modern period the largely private spaces in women's lives were not enclosed worlds isolated from the public spaces in which men operated.Contributors to this important collection are leading international scholars and offer strong, substantial, and archival-based research
