This is an engaging and comprehensive study of property-owning women in the colony of Tidewater; VA during the 17th 18th centuries. It examines the social restrictions on women's behaviour and speech; opportunities and difficulties these women encountered in the legal system; the economic and discretionary authority they enjoyed; the roles they played in the family business;their roles in the later; trans-Atlantic trading framework; and the imperial context within which these colonial women lived; making this a welcome addition to both colonial and women's history.
