Opis

Most of the women who ever lived left no trace of their existence on the record of history. In this book, Suzannah Lipscomb recovers the lives and aspirations of ordinary sixteenth- and seventeenth-century French women, using rich source material to show what they thought about their lives, menfolk, friendships, faith, and sex.

Recenzje

The book offers fascinating details of confessionally "mixed marriages" and their tensions. Brian Sandberg, Journal of Modern History
