- Description
- Van den Heuvel examines the role women played in trade in the early modern period in the Northern Nertherlands. She looks at three forms of commercial enterprise in particular: street selling and stallholding, shopkeeping, and international commerce. The study focusses on several urban and rural areas of the country, and on the relationship between economic trends and women's participation in entrepreneurship. With case studies of the cities Amsterdam, Leiden and 's-Hertogenbosch, the villages Graft and Winkel, and the polder Zijpe. One of the conclusions is that it was not the Dutch Golden Age (the seventeenth century), but rather the subsequent century which provided a favourable climate for female entrepreneurship.
