Until recently, women featured in the historiography of the landed
class in Ireland either as bearers of assets to advantageous
matches or as potential drains on family estates. Drawing on a
range of sources from the papers of landed families, this book
provides fresh insights into the place of these women. Looking at
women's experiences of property and power in twenty landed families
between 1750 and 1850, and outlining the statutory developments
that impacted upon the distribution of family property in Ireland,
Wilson considers how women were provided for and examines the
legal, social and familial factors that influenced the experience
elite women had of property. Individual examples demonstrate the
similarities and differences between women in this class, and
illustrate how the experience women had of property in this period
was more complex than their legal and social status might suggest.
This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of Irish history,
gender and women's studies. -- .
