Society Women and Enlightened Charity in Spain
The authors of this edited collection explore the contributions of the Junta de Damas de Honor y Mérito, a secular association of elite Spanish women, to the Bourbon monarchy’s reform programs, as well as how the women of the Junta fulfilled the expectations of their class and gender while at the same time vying for more authority and more visible participation in Enlightenment endeavors. The contributors, though mostly historians, allow for a di…

No se hace pueblo sin ellas
The historical narrative of the Spanish colonization of the Americas is generally framed by the notion that not enough peninsular women emigrated to the New World. White women were believed to be able to tame the violence of Spanish men, provide condoned outlets for their sexual desires, and produce and properly Hispanize successive generations of Spanish children. The supposed failure of European women to participate in colonization efforts left…

The Early Modern Hispanic World
Iberia stands at the center of key trends in Atlantic and world histories, largely because Portugal and Spain were the first European kingdoms to 'go global'. The Early Modern Hispanic World engages with new ways of thinking about the early modern Hispanic past, as a field of study that has grown exponentially in recent years. It focuses predominantly on questions of how people understood the rapidly changing world in which they lived - how they …

Christian Berco, From Body to Community
Christian Berco’s study of the syphilitic hospital in Toledo, Spain presents a new and fascinating patient-centred examination of one of early modern Europe’s most feared epidemics and how the Toledo’s inhabitants coped with the spectre of this painful, chronic disease. Berco’s book is based on a somewhat unique set of documents. Upon admission to the Hospital of Santiago, a notary not only registered basic information about the patients, includi…
Jodi Campbell, At the First Table
Transatlantic Obligations
During the sixteenth century the journey from Seville to Lima took five months under the best of circumstances. Yet, as Jane Mangan so vividly demonstrates, blood was thicker than water, and the bonds of family that were fundamental to survival in early modern society transcended the obstacles of travel and distance.Transatlantic Obligations makes an important contribution to the current scholarship that emphasizes the connections between Spain a…

Restoring Miranda
Atlantic history has become fashionable as a way of linking the histories of Europe and the Americas. However, much work in Atlantic history does little to challenge the national biases of traditional colonial and imperial history. This article argues that gender provides an important conceptual tool for a trans-imperial and comparative exploration, just as it provided important conceptual structures for all the peoples of the Atlantic world. An …
The Case for Agentic Gender Norms for Women in Early Modern Europe
Babies on Board
From 1778 to 1784, in an attempt to colonise Patagonia, the Spanish Crown transported more than 1,900 peasants from northern Spain to the Río de la Plata. Based on Enlightenment ideas about economy and society, the Crown used the colonisation scheme to assert control over some of its most marginal subjects. In the hope of transforming these peasants from poverty‐stricken burdens on society into filial agents of empire, the Crown invested heavily …

Public Health, Peasant Bodies and the Spanish Colonisation of Patagonia
During the eighteenth century, intellectuals at the court of Charles III of Spain worried about the ‘illnesses ’ that weakened the nation. As a part of those debates, enlightened reformers argued for the extension of state control over health care and intervention in issues of public health. Their opportunity to test those ideas came in 1778, when José de Gálvez, the minister of the Indies, formulated a plan to transport more than 1900 northern S…
Elusive Virtue
For decades, scholars have emphasized the importance of female chastity in early modern Spanish society. Early modern thinkers enthusiastically promoted the notion in their works, Mediterranean anthropologists formulated a cultural model around female chastity through their studies, and early modern historians followed suit in their examinations of the Catholic Reformation. However, this analysis of recent works on gender and the extensive demogr…

Gender, Property, and Retirement Strategies in Early Modern Northwestern Spain
Demographic studies indicate that elderly women were a prominent part of early modern rural society. Particularly in northwestern Spain, where partible inheritance left women in control of significant property, older women played a critical role in determining not only their own elder care but intergenerational relationships and family economies as well. An examination of retirement contracts from the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain indic…

Campesinas transatlánticas
Aunque las mujeres representaban un componente constante y fundamental de la corriente migratoria transatlántica, sabemos poco de sus decisiones para emigrar durante el siglo XVIII. Entre 1778 y 1783, casi novecientas mujeres y niñas campesinas emigraron del norte de España al Río de la Plata como parte de un proyecto monárquico para colonizar la Patagonia. La documentación extensa de este proyecto indica que muchas de estas pobladoras campesinas…
