"This interdisciplinary volume discusses the division of the early modern material world into the important legal, economic and personal categories of mobile and immobile property, possession and the rights to usufruct. The varying perspectives, including cultural history, legal history, philosophy and law, allows for a more nuanced understanding of the links between the movability of an object and the gender of the person who owned, possessed or used it. By exploring a broad scope of topics including landownership, slaveholding and the dowry, this book is an essential resource for both researchers and students of women's history, social and economic history and material culture"-- Provided by publisher.
