Their sheer chances of survival, their protection from want, their social status, their individual agency and their self-esteem were all strongly mediated by the family, the predominant social institution. Family laws and customs of family formation created differences between insiders and outsiders in terms of well-being. Within families, there were strong differences in autonomy, status and freedom between the genders and generations. The book offers a fascinating exploration of gender differences in well-being in many regions of historic Europe, with some comparative perspectives. It explores how historic family systems differed with respect to choosing a marriage partner, transmitting property, living and care conditions of widows and widowers and the position of children born out of wedlock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584112443543,"sku":"9783034300568","price":7952.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783034300568.webp?v=1774954187","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-transmission-of-well-being-gendered-marriage-strategies-and-inheritance-systems-in-europe-17th-20th-centuries-9783034300568","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
