This text brings together eleven important pieces by Merry Wiesner, several of them previously unpublished, on three major areas in the study of women and gender in early modern Germany: religion, law and work. The final chapter, specially written for this volume addresses three fundamental questions: "e;Did women have a Reformation?"e;; "e;What effects did the development of capitalism have on women?"e;; and "e;Do the concepts 'Renaissance' and 'Early Modern' apply to women's experience?"e; The book concludes with an extensive bibliographical essay exploring both English and German scholarship.
