An assemblage of urban water access
This article delves into the urban environmental history of early modern Amsterdam through the examination of water access. In this coastal city, environmental change combined with the late 16th and especially 17th century urban growth made ground and surface waters brackish and polluted. As a result, access to clean drinking water required substantial efforts. A combined system of mainly rain containers (cisterns) and surface water imports from …
Coaches, Sleighs, and Speed in the Street
Throughout urban Europe, the introduction and presence of vehicles in the city caused tensions of safety and scarcity of space. This article discusses the vehicle culture of early modern Amsterdam, where vehicles and their users had no undisputed right to the streets. The current view in the historiography is that regulations that tried to curb wheeled horse-drawn vehicles were ineffective and that the streets rapidly became a vehicular space fro…
Women, Weather, and Water in the Dutch Republic
Where was women's work? Gender, work and urban space in Amsterdam, 1650-1791
This article considers the spatial dimension of the gendered urban division of labour. The location of early modern women’s work is investigated through a database of work activities gathered from early modern notarial depositions. Work is here defined broadly as all activities that contribute towards making a living. Women’s (and men’s) work happening inside, outside, at home and away from home in early modern Amsterdam is charted and the comple…
Patriarchal power as a conceptual tool for gender history
The concept ‘patriarchy’ has endured decline in use by historians despite calls for its redemption. One of the main reasons is that uses of ‘patriarchy’ fall into potentially clashing categories: There are theories of ‘patriarchy’ as hierarchical authority in the family and there are theories of ‘patriarchy’ as a ubiquitous or universal structure through which men dominate women. I suggest that the first is more useful because it allows for a bet…

Capturing Gendered Mobility and Street Use in the Historical City
While in the social sciences everyday mobility and street use are seen as central to the understanding of urban societies, in the work of historians these phenomena only play a limited role. Building upon methods from related fields and using digital tools, this article proposes a new methodological approach to study historical mobility and street use. This 'snapshot approach' facilitates intercultural comparability and creates possibilities for …
