Women and Work in Premodern Europe

This book re-evaluates and extends understandings about how work was conceived and what it could entail for women in the premodern period in Europe from c. 1100 to c. 1800. It does this by building on the impressive growth in literature on womens working experiences, and by adopting new interpretive approaches that expand received assumptions about what constituted work for women. While attention to the diversity of womens contributions to the economy has done much to make the breadth of womens experiences of labour visible, this volume takes a more expansive conceptual approach to the notion of work and considers the social and cultural dimensions in which activities were construed and valued as work. This interdisciplinary collection thus advances concepts of work that encompass cultural activities in addition to more traditional economic understandings of work as employment or labour for production. The chapters reconceptualise and explore work for women by asking how the working lives of historical women were enacted and represented, and they analyse relationships that shaped womens experiences of work across the European premodern period.

She is currently writing a book on the religious and social value of meekness from the Middle Ages to the present.
