- Description
- Through an analysis of the marriage patterns of thousands of aristocratic women as well as an examination of diaries, letters, and memoirs, the author demonstrates that the sense of rank identity as manifested in these women's marriages remained remarkably stable for centuries, until it was finally shattered by the First World War.

- Description
- This volume explores the meaning and importance of marriage in Northern Europe, looking at differences and similarities within and between Scandinavia and the british Isles. The point of departure is the concept of 'marital economy'. It is used to denote the economic partnership of husband and wife, which was the basis of all economic activities in the medieval and early modern period. The book employs a life-course approach, discussing in 13 different empirical studies (1) creating the partnership, (2) managing the partnership, and (3) dissolving the partnership. The studies discuss courtship, servants' work, elite strategies, retirement, inheritance, wills, marital disputes, decision-making, divorce, separation, and various forms of property arrangements. The introduction emphasises the martial economy as a key to understanding pre-modern economic life, and the conclusion discusses the reasons why this key has been lost to modern conceptions of economy.

- Description
- Rejecting traditional notions of what constitutes art, this book brings together essays on a variety of fiber arts to recoup women's artistic practices by redefining what counts as art. With essays on a range of fiber art practices, including embroidery, knitting, crocheting, machine stitching, rug making, weaving, and quilting.

- Description
- This book investigates the gendered nature of political culture across early modern Europe by exploring the relationship between gender, power, and political authority and influence. The collection offers a rethinking of what constituted ‘politics’ and a reconsideration of how men and women operated as part of political culture. It demonstrates how underlying structures could enable or constrain political action, and how political power and influence could be exercised through social and cultural practices.
