This text provides the first full-length consideration of women's
economic roles in early modern Scottish towns. Drawing on tens of
thousands of cases entered into burgh court litigation between 1560
and 1640 in Edinburgh, Dundee, Haddington and Linlithgow, Women,
credit and debt explores how Scottish women navigated their courts
and their communities. The employments and by-employments that
brought these women to court and the roles they had in the economy
are also considered. In particular, this book explores the role of
women as merchants, merchandisers, producers and sellers of ale,
landladies, moneylenders and servants. Comparing the Scottish
experience to that of England and Europe, Spence shows that over
the course of the latter half of the sixteenth century and into the
seventeenth century women were conspicuously active in burgh court
litigation and, by extension, were engaged participants in the
early modern Scottish economy. -- .
