Women's Worlds in England presents a unique collection of source
materials on women's lives in sixteenth and seventeenth century
England. The book introduces a wonderfully diverse group of women
and a series of voices that have rarely been heard in history, from
Deborah Brackley, a poor Devon servant, to Katharine Whitstone,
Oliver Cromwell's sister, and Queen Anne. Drawing on unpublished,
archival materials, Women's Worlds explores the everyday lives of
ordinary early modern women, including their: * experiences of
work, sex, marriage and motherhood * beliefs and spirituality *
political activities * relationships * mental worlds In a time when
few women could write, this book reveals the multitude of ways in
which their voices and experiences leave traces in the written
record, and deepens and challenges our understanding of womens
lives in the past.
