Avraham Grossman covers multiple aspects of women’s lives in medieval Jewish society, including the image of woman, the structure of the family unit, age at marriage, position in family and society, her place in economic and religious life, her education, her role in family ceremonies, violence against women, and the position of the divorcée and the widow in society.

- Description
- Town rules and customs, as well as police and guilds’ regulations, affected women’s participation in the urban economy: the formally recognized and legally accepted power of women was very limited. The book draws attention to how women navigated these gendered terrains. As the book demonstrates, 'exclusion' is too strong a word for the realities of women’s everyday lives. Frequently guild and corporate regulations were more about situating women and regulating their activities, rather than preventing them from operating in the urban economy. Similarly corporate structures, which were under stress, found flexible strategies to incorporate women who through their own initiative and activities put pressure on the systems.

- Description
- The book examines the provisions made for the support of widows, including in the form of marriage contracts, dowries and charitable assistance and provides numerous examples of widows being economically active, paying their way and involving themselves energetically in society. Using statistical analysis and individual case studies, the book contrasts the situation in different parts of Europe, and between rural and urban areas, and shows how provision for widows both in law and in practice evolved over time.

- Description
- In this book change in Ireland in the twentieth century is reflected in changes in the lives of men, women and children. A typical girl born in a rural cottage in the early 1900s worked on the family homestead from childhood and left school at twelve years of age. If she married, she would have a large family: there was a strong possibility she would emigrate. By the time the first cohort of free post-primary beneficiaries left school in the 1970s Ireland had joined the EEC. As employment opportunities increased, more mothers remained in employment and more children were cared for in creches. Fewer men were sole breadwinners. Changes in the pattern of behaviour similar to those in other European countries suggested the dominance of economic factors over tradition and religion. A social revolution occurred within an economic revolution. Cottage to Creche examines some of the catalysts that have led to this revolution. It looks at various dimensions of family life - marriage, emigration, birth and fertility, maternal mortality, infant mortality, abortion, adoption. It deals with the living standards of families, the roles of men and women, the role and status of children, Catholic social thought and the family and family and government.

- Description
- Representing a historical cross-section of performance and training in Western music since the seventeenth century, this publication brings to light the private and performance lives of five women musicians and composers. Guiding readers through the thirty years war in central Europe, elite courts in Germany, urban salons in Paris, nazi control of Germany and Austria, and American musical life today, as well as personal experiences of marriage, motherhood, and widowhood, the author provides insights into the culture in which each woman was active: duchess Sophie-Elisabeth of Braunschweig-Lueneberg (harpsichordist), Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre (composer), Josephine Lang (pianist and composer), baroness Maria Bach (composer and pianist), Ann Schein (pianist). Mining musical autographs, unpublished letters and press reviews, interviews, and music archives in the United States and Europe, the author probes each musician's social and economic status, her education and musical training, the cultural expectations within the traditions and restrictions of each woman's society, and other factors.

- Description
- The late Enlightenment saw an acute transformation of gender definitions in the German cultural areas of Europe, leading to a 'polarization' of the sexes. Where early modern cultural norms had once affirmed a multitude of differences within society, modernity was founded on an ideal of equality which in practice applied only to white male citizens. The new dichotomies of gender, socioeconomic status, and race created by this practice held tremendous social implications for all Germans. Law and science inscribed a new set of morals with gendered virtues and social spheres. Masculinity and femininity came to be understood as opposites based in nature. The transformed gender system fuelled an epochal social reordering. .This book recounts the ways in which this drama played out in German-speaking Europe during the transitional period between 1750 and 1830. Scholars examine the effect of gender in numerous realms of German life, including law, urban politics, marriage, religion, literature, natural science, fashion, and personal relationships.
