Summary "In this book, Monica Chojnacka argues that the women of early modern Venice occupied a more socially powerful space than traditionally believed. Rather than focusing exclusively on the women of noble or wealthy merchant families, Chojnacka explores the lives of women - unmarried, married, or widowed - who worked for a living and helped keep the city running through their labor, services, and products."--Jacket
