Women in Early Modern England 1550-1720

What was life like for women living in Tudor and Stuart England? This fascinating book provides a colourful and comprehensive account of the daily experiences of these women, taken from first-hand sources such as diaries, letters, and household accounts. Their outlook on the world - the views of that half of the population usually hidden from the historical record - provides a valuable new perspective on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England.
