This ground-breaking book reveals the economic reality of ordinary
women between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. Drawing on
little-known sources, Amy Louise Erickson reconstructs day-to-day
lives, showing how women owned, managed and inherited property on a
scale previously unrecognised. Her complex and fascinating
research, which contrasts the written laws with the actual
practice, completely revises the traditional picture of women's
economic status in pre-industrial England. Women and Property is
essential reading for anyone interested in women, law and the past.
