The Prospect Before Her - A History of Women in Western Europe (Volume One 1500-1800)

Slightly faded spine, minor signs of secondhand wear, foxing at page edges.

This book brings together a mass of detailed and dispersed material on women in early modern Europe, as well as giving readers a new interpretation of the considerable study of women which has emerged over the list two decades. The author's range is ambitious and, unlike previous works in the field which isolate particular aspects of the lives of women or of the versions of woman, she considers the situation of all kinds of women, all aspects of their lives, across the whole of Western Europe, particularly England and France, and over three centuries.
