Women Negotiating the Boundaries of Justice in Britain, 1300–1700
This introduction places the articles featured in this special issue of the Journal of British Studies within the context of recent scholarship on late medieval and early modern women and the law. It is designed to highlight the many boundaries that structured women's legal agency in Britain, including the procedural boundaries that filtered their voices through male advisers and officials, the jurisdictional boundaries that shaped litigation str…
Worthless Witnesses? Marginal Voices and Women's Legal Agency in Early Modern England
This article explores the distribution of women witnesses in a selection of English church courts between the mid-sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries, in order to assess the extent to which women's participation as witnesses in these jurisdictions might be characterized as a form of legal agency. It shows that women's participation was highly contingent on their marital status and between places and over time and was shaped by the matters in…
Amy M. Froide. Silent Partners
Silent Partners: Women as Public Investors during Britain’s Financial Revolution, 1690–1750, restores women to the history of financial capitalism in Britain at a moment of decisive change. Although the activities of women investors have been noted in passing by historians of the Financial Revolution (and often rather condescendingly dismissed), or partially explored through particular case studies (most notably the South Sea Bubble of 1720), thi…

Based on a protracted inheritance dispute through which their extensive dealings come to light, the discussion assesses married women's lending and investment strategies in a burgeoning metropolitan economy; the n…

Twenty‐five Years of Gender & History
Worth, age, and social status in early modern England1
This article introduces a new source for assessing the distribution of wealth in early modern England derived from witness depositions taken by the church courts. It discusses the accuracy of statements of ‘worth’ provided by thousands of witnesses between the mid-sixteenth and later seventeenth centuries, and uses the monetary estimates of worth in goods that the majority of deponents supplied to assess the changing distribution of personal weal…
Gender, Change and Periodisation
This volume marks the twentieth anniversary of Gender and History by revisiting and reasserting the potential of women's history and gender history both to complicate and, more fundamentally, to revise received narratives of change.As Ludmilla Jordanova has observed, periodisation hinges on the privileging of particular vantage points and the selection of 'symbolic markers' according to 'the weight given to distinct fields of human activity', and…

Litigation and locality
The importance of legal institutions as mediators of social relations in early modern towns has long been recognized. However, opinion differs over the extent to which early modern courts generated social conflict or resolved it through promoting consensus. This article brings to light a neglected jurisdiction and argues that while the university courts inevitably generated conflict when pursuing their regulative agenda, they nonetheless offered …
