This article looks at women engaged in the fish trade in early modern Portugal, with a focus on a group of women who lived on a small street near Porto’s harbor. These women shared a neighborhood and a trade, and together they merchandised a significant portion of the incoming cargo. Through an examination of a number of archival records, this article shows the extent to which early modern Portuguese women enjoyed a form of commercial autonomy that may have been unique to certain parts of the Iberian Peninsula
