Although mistress is a term with a multiplicity of meanings, in early modern England the mistress most commonly designated the female equivalent of master–that is, a person with capital who directed servants or apprentices. Prior to the mid eighteenth century, there was only Mrs (or Mris, Ms, or other forms of abbreviation). Mrs was applied to any adul…
Eleanor Mosley and Other Milliners in the City of London Companies 1700-1750
The corporate records of the Clockmakers' Company and some of the other eighty London companies (gilds) in the first half of the eighteenth century reveal a large number of prosperous female milliners, many of whom took a string of apprentices.

It has been suggested that these girls were probably only apprenti…

English property law was distinctive in two respects: first, married women under coverture were even more restric…
