'Interdisciplinary in focus, the volume includes essays by both historians and legal experts, with contributors utilising a wide range of methodologies in their analyses of women and the law in several European countries...An impressive range of archival material is examined and fine and intriguing arguments are put forward. This is a volume that sheds welcome and thought-provoking light on women's relationship with the law and will prove of interest to anyone with interests in European, women's, or legal history.' - Adrienne E. Gavin, Canterbury Christ Church University, Nineteenth Century Gender Studies
