The Wealth of Wives: Women, Law, and Economy in Late Medieval London
Hanawalt, Barbara A. (King George III Professor of British History, King George III Professor of British History, Ohio State University)
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.
