Recenzii

'Gowing puts female apprenticeship convincingly front and centre in the history of early modern women, showing how girls learned the gendered mix of agency and contingency that would shape their lives as producers, traders and consumers. This book is a pleasure for its readers and a triumph for its author.' Cynthia Herrup, University of Southern California
'This wonderful book shifts women's artisanal training from the historiographical margins to the centre of city life. Focusing on people rather than things, Gowing's meticulous research brings to life the female makers and sellers of the consumer revolution and shows how women's skilled work crafted gendered identity alongside producing goods.' Alexandra Shepard, University of Glasgow
