| This volume tells the stories of women who worked legally, in their own names, in early modern Copenhagen. They were to be found on the streets selling food or yarn, managing shops or schools, working in the metal trades or construction industries, or owning factories or fleets of merchant vessels. Married, widowed, and single, these women received their own licenses and paid their own taxes, often in businesses or trades that had nothing to do with male relatives. They were an integral part of the production and distribution of goods in the flourishing capital city of Copenhagen during its Golden Age at the turn of the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. |
