The evidence of extant books reveals that women who worked beside their husbands in printing houses and bookshops sometimes exerted considerable influence over their shops' business decisions. Most of the identifiable women stationers were widows, who often sought to minimize their financial risk through a conservative approach to publishing. But some were more enterpreneurial, expanding the network of those with whom they worked and increasing the number and types of books they issued. In their roles as authors, editors, and annotators, women further extended their impact on the history of early modern books. By considering women from widely differing backgrounds who engaged in manual, commercial, familial and literary forms of labour, this collection recovers women's participation in book history as never before. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women in the book industries and trade $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Women in the book industries and trade $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Books $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Books $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836401 650 7 $a Women in the book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178024 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Wayne, Valerie, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043213.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9E315E6FE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
