Drawing on unpublished, archival materials, Women's Worlds explores the everyday lives of ordinary early modern women, including their:* experiences of work, sex, marriage and motherhood* beliefs and spirituality* political activities* relationships* mental worldsIn a time when few women could write, this book reveals the multitude of ways in which their voices and experiences leave traces in the written record, and deepens and challenges our understanding of womens lives in the past.
