This collection of essays looks at the various ways in which women have coped financially in a male-dominated world. Chapters focus on Europe and Latin America, and cover the whole of the modern period. The central argument of many contributors is that, far from some accepted stereotypes, women throughout history have not been passive in dealing with their economic needs, and that older women in particular had more agency than has previously been assumed.
"'Moring and her contributors add to ongoing debates on women’s work and wellbeing ... The studies in this volume make persuasive use of rich qualitative evidence.'"
