A new and major contribution to the field, Women in European
Culture and Society is a transnational history of women in Europe
from the beginning of the eighteenth century that pushes women's
history beyond national studies to create an integrated view of
three hundred years of women in Europe. Using a longue duree, the
book disentangles the accounts of industrialisation and bourgeois
femininity which tend to dominate women's studies, and questions
the dominant narratives of history. Drawing on women's own writing
and cultural production, it presents women as agents of change as
well as exploring cultural perceptions of women and the ways in
which women have been represented by these discourses. It
explicitly engages with how women contributed as practitioners to
shaping the culture and society of western Europe. The geographical
range and generational breadth of this study provides a cohesive
vision of women's lives up to the present day. Women in European
Culture and Society is an invaluable and essential guide to the
conditions, circumstances and understandings of how women lived
throughout Europe.
