A major effort at synthesis…Ms. Hufton has a keen eye for
the extraordinary interest in ordinary detail.–New York Times Book
Review — Review
…Ms. Hufton manages to combine a keen sensitivity to detail
with a solid synthetic sense. — The New York Times Book Review,
Lynn Hunt
How did women in 16th century western Europe cope with the
consequences of being considered inherently sinful–as well as
being legally and economically subordinate to their fathers,
husbands, brothers, and sons? What might become of a woman unable
to raise a dowry? What were the difficulties faced by spinsters,
single mothers, and widows? In this brilliant investigation into
the lives of women from all social strata, Hufton leads us from
poor-house to palazzo, from cradle to grave, illuminating what it
meant to be female in western Europe during the years 1500 to
1800.
