From the extraordinarily detailed records kept by Florentine tax collectors and the equally precise \u003ci\u003ericordanze\u003c\/i\u003e (household accounts with notations of events great and small), Klapisch-Zuber draws a living picture of the Tuscan household. We learn, for example, how children were named, how wet nurses were engaged, how marriages were negotiated and celebrated. A wealth of other sources are tapped--including city statutes, private letters, philosophical works on marriage, paintings--to determine the social status of women. Klapisch-Zuber reveals how women, in their roles as daughters, wives, sisters, and mothers, were largely subject to a family system that needed them but valued them little. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615257346199,"sku":"9780226439266","price":4334.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226439266.webp?v=1775099253","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/women-family-and-ritual-in-renaissance-italy-9780226439266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
