"'Women's Worlds in Seventeenth-century England' presents a unique collection of source materials on women's lives in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century England. The book introduced a wonderfully diverse group of women and a series of voices that have rarely been heard in history, from a poor Devon servant-girl to Queen Anne herself. Drawing on unpublished, archival materials, 'Women's Worlds' explores the everyday lives of ordinary early modern women, including their: experiences of sex, marriage and motherhood - daily work - beliefs and spirituality - political activities - economic transactions - social and family relationships - mental worlds. In a time when few women could write, this book reveals the multitude of ways in which their voices and experiences leave traces in the written record, and deepens and challenges our understanding of women's lives in the past."--Jacket.
