Bücher von Maria Agren

A new gendered approach to the rise of the modern state in Sweden over the long eighteenth century. -- .

Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, women's role in the Swedish economy was renegotiated and reconceptualised. Maria Agren chronicles changes in married women's property rights, revealing the story of Swedish women's property as not just a simple narrative of the erosion of legal rights, but a more complex tale of unintended consequences.
