Gender, Law and Economic Well-Being in Europe from the Fifteenth to the Nineteenth Century

This book offers a comparative perspective on Northern and Southern European laws and customs concerning womens property and economic rights. By focusing on both Northern and Southern European societies, these studies analyse the consequences of different juridical frameworks and norms on the development of the economic roles of men and women.

This volume is divided into three parts. The first, Laws , presents general outlines related to some European regions; the second, Family strategies or marital economies? , questions the potential conflict between the economic interests of the married couple and those of the lineage within the nobility; finally, the third part of the book, Inside the urban economy , focuses on economic and work activities of the middle and lower classes in the urban environment. The assorted and rich panorama offered by the history of the legislation on womens economic rights shows that similarities and differences run through Europe in such a way that the North/South model looks very stereotyped. While this approach calls into question classical geographical and cultural maps and well-established chronologies, it encourages a reconsideration of European history according to a cross-boundaries perspective.

By drawing on a wide range of social, economic and cultural European contexts, from the late medieval to early modern age to the nineteenth century, and including the middle and lower classes (especially artisans, merchants and traders) as well as the economic practices and norms of the upper middle class and aristocracy, this book will be of interest to economic and social historians, sociologists of health, gender and sexuality, and economists.

The aim of this series is to enhance our understanding of the relationship between gender and well-being by addressing the following questions:

How can we compare levels of well-being between women and men? Is it possible to develop new indicators which reflect a fuller understanding of the nature of well-being in the twenty-first century?

How have women and men contributed to the improvement of individual well-being at different times and in different places?

What role should institutions play in promoting and maintaining well-being?

In what ways have different social movements contributed to the improvement of well-being over the last 300 years?

The volumes in this series are designed to provide rigorous social-scientific answers to these questions.
