This is an innovative analysis of the relationship between women's
economic opportunity and marriage in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. It is based on an intensive study of York and Yorkshire,
but also utilizes evidence from other parts of England and
continental Europe. P. J. P. Goldberg explores the role of women in
the economy and the part that marriage played in their lives.
Importantly, he challenges the Wrigley and Schofield thesis of
nuptiality: his analysis of the demography of marriage demonstrates
that in late medieval Yorkshire, women participated strongly in the
labour force, deferring marriage or avoiding it entirely. This is a
stimulating and intelligent book, which makes an important
contribution to our understanding of medieval ways of life.
