When Gossips Meet: Women, Family, and Neighbourhood in Early Modern England - Oxford Studies in Social History
Capp, Bernard (Professor of History, University of Warwick)
Explores how women of the poorer and middling sorts in early modern England sought to make the best of their lives in a society that excluded or marginalized them in almost every sphere. This book argues that networks of close friends ('gossips') provided invaluable moral and practical support, helping them to shape their own lives.
