Recenzii
’Locklin has produced a well-researched, clearly written, thorough analysis of women's work in Brittany.’ Reviews in History ’As a whole, this book offers a detailed perspective on women's work and identity in eighteenth-century Brittany. The author's careful research opens up a new window into the lives of Breton women, and offers valuable insights into the economic history of early modern French women.’ Labour/Le Travail ’Nancy Locklin's detailed and innovative study of the lives of women in Brittany in the eighteenth century will appeal to a range of readers, including those interested in gender history, local and regional history, legal history and French history. ... This book is a welcome addition to regional studies of women's work and lives in early modern Europe. ...this is undoubtedly an interesting and valuable exploration of the complexity of women's lives in the past.’ Agricultural History Review ’Nancy Locklin’s Women’s Work and Identity in Eighteenth-Century Brittany is an important monograph in helping to establish a portrait of early modern France. ... Locklin has effectively mined the archives using intelligent suppositions to fill out what the clues suggest. She also reveals the lacks, lacunae, and biases in her sources in an effort to resist claiming more than she can reasonably assert. With this material, she has been able to give us a tantalizing view of the possibilities and choices of women in the past.’ H-France Review ’This is an informative and well-researched investigation of women’s lives, carefully located within the context of broader debates concerning the nature of women’s history and the economic and social structures that shaped women’s work. ... There can be no doubts concerning Locklin’s competence in the field of women’s history, and this stimulating study does present a number of intriguing perspectives on the nature of women’s economic activities.’ English Historical Review ’Lockl

Descriere
Based on a solid foundation of archival research that ranges from tax rolls to notarial records, this study adds an important chapter to our understanding of women in pre-industrial Europe. Through a rigorous examination of primary documents peculiar to eighteenth-century Brittany, the author demonstrates the difficulties engendered in broad generalities about European women, and makes a strong case for the necessity for historians to account for regional differences in women's experiences.
