History 3413 - Women in Early Modern Europe

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

From the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, European women experienced tremendous change as Europe witnessed religious upheaval, economic retrenchment, political consolidation, and intellectual revolution. However, many of the core ideas about women's role and status remained remarkably stable during this period, and women continually struggled to create opportunity for themselves. We examine both the changing and unchanging nature of women's lives through sources such as conduct manuals for women; biographies about women from different economic, social, and religious backgrounds; and the works of female authors.
