The Wealth of Wives

Women, Law, and Economy in Late Medieval London

Description

This book argues that an overlooked source of liquid capital for the growth of London's late medieval economy was the wealth that women accumulated through inheritance, dowry, and dower and women's roles in trades in wage and labour did not contribute as much to London's economy as wealth passed through marriage.
