We tend to think of state service as the typical male form of work.
However, this notion does not do justice to the early history of
states and their servants, and it obscures the role of women and
gender entirely. Teasing out these entanglements, The state as
master shows how early modern state formation was subsidized by
ordinary people's work and how, at the same time, the changing
relationship between state authorities and families shaped the
understanding of work and gender. This book is both a fascinating
story of the hardships of customs official families in small
Swedish towns and an innovative analysis of state formation and its
short- and long-term effects. -- .
