A Woman’s Work - Women’s Lives in Late 17c Kingston upon Hull
By Mike Rymer
What was a woman’s social status in 17th century Hull? What was their legal status at this time? How were women perceived by the church and society?
Could a married woman work? What kind of work were they engaged in?
How were widows treated in the 17th century?
Was divorce an option available to 17th century women? Who was in charge of the money in marriage?
