- 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
- This collection engages with representations of women and ageing in literature and visual culture. Cultural conceptions of ageing are constructed and challenged across a variety of media and genres. Exploring the process of ageing in its cultural reflections the authors analyse how artists, writers, directors and performers challenge cultural constructions of ageing women, as well as give voice to ageing women’s subjectivities. The book concludes with an afterword by Germaine Greer which suggests possible avenues for future research.

- Description
- The end of socialism in the Soviet Union and its satellite states ushered in a new era of choice. But personal choice is limited by a range of factors such as a person’s economic situation, class, age, government policies and social expectations, especially regarding gender roles. The notion of free choice is a crucial feature of capitalist ideology and can be manipulated in the interests of the market. This collection explores the complexity of choice in Russia and Ukraine. The contributors explore how the new choices available to people have interacted with and influenced gender identities and gender and how choice has become one of the driving forces of class-formation in countries which were, in the Soviet era, supposedly classless.

- Description
- This volume explores the tensions between shared gender identity and the myriad social differences structuring women's lives. By examining historical experiences of early modern women, the authors of these essays consider the possibilities for commonalities and the forces dividing women. They analyse individual and collective identities of early modern women, tracing the web of power relations emerging from women's social interactions and contemporary understandings of femininity. Essays range from the late medieval period to the eighteenth century, study women in England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Sweden, and locate women in a variety of social environments, from household, neighbourhood and parish, to city, court and nation.
