Summary Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, women's role in the Swedish economy was renegotiated and reconceptualised. This book 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.
