"This book offers a comparative perspective on Northern and Southern European laws
and customs concerning women's property and economic rights. By focusing on both Northern
and Southern European societies, these studies analyse the consequences of different
juridical frameworks and norms on the development of the economic roles of men and
women. This volume is divided into three parts. The first, Laws, presents general
outlines related to some European regions; the second, Family strategies or marital
economies?, questions the potential conflict between the economic interests of the
married couple and those of the lineage within the nobility; finally, the third part
of the book, Inside the urban economy, focuses on economic and work activities of
middle and lower classes in the urban environment. The assorted and rich panorama
offered by the history of the legislation on women's economic rights shows that similarities
and differences run through Europe in such a way that the North/South model looks
very stereotyped. While this approach calls into question classical geographical and
cultural maps and well-established chronologies, it encourages a reconsideration of
European history according to a cross-boundaries perspective. By drawing on a wide
range of social, economic and cultural European contexts, from the late medieval to
early modern age to the nineteenth century, and including the middle and lower classes
(especially artisans, merchants and traders) as well as the economic practices and
norms of the upper middle class and aristocracy, this book will be of interest to
economic and social historians, sociologists of health, gender and sexuality, and
economists"
