This book examines women and men's wills and marriage settlements to reveal a vibrant interplay among law, gender, and the changing structure of family relationships in early modern England. Wills and marriage settlements from this period are invaluable resources which challenge the model of the patriarchal family and women's legal incapacity that has long dominated perceptions of this era. This book draws on these documents to provide a richer and more nuanced account of women's property rights, power, and agency within the early modern household. Through the legal and economic relationships revealed by these sources, the author presents women as active participants in shaping their own lives and the lives of their families. This book enriches our understanding of women's roles within society and makes a significant contribution to the history of the family and gender relations.
