Description
Widows' Poverty, Power and Politics by Maggie Andrews and Janis Lomas is a fascinating exploration of the complex stories of women who defied stereotypes to forge their own paths after widowhood. For centuries, widows have been subject to powerful and enduring stereotypes, but this book reveals a more nuanced history. From being property of men and housekeepers, many widows found themselves empowered and free to conduct themselves as they wished. This book brings together the stories of fascinating women who made a significant impact on their communities and beyond. Through their experiences, we see how widows have carried on with everyday life in the face of poverty or isolation, struggled for political power, and contributed to improving the lives of women today. By examining the lives of these remarkable women, historians Maggie Andrews and Janis Lomas shed new light on a pivotal moment in history. This book is a compelling account of the often-overlooked stories of widows who dared to be more than just figures of pity or foreboding.
