However, this notion does not do justice to the early history of states and their servants, and it obscures the role of women and gender entirely. Teasing out these entanglements, The state as master shows how early modern state formation was subsidized by ordinary people's work and how, at the same time, the changing relationship between state authorities and families shaped the understanding of work and gender. This book is both a fascinating story of the hardships of customs official families in small Swedish towns and an innovative analysis of state formation and its short- and long-term effects.Gender in history.Womenfast(OCoLC)fst01176568Sex role in the work environmentfast(OCoLC)fst01114655Customs administrationOfficials and employeesfast(OCoLC)fst00885589WomenSwedenHistory18th centuryWomenSwedenHistory17th centurySex role in the work environmentSwedenCustoms administrationSwedenOfficials and employeesHistory18th centuryCustoms administrationSwedenOfficials and employeesHistory17th centurySwedenfastHistory.Christian world view.early modern European culture.early modern state formation.hostility.mutual help.small-scale market relations.social control.state administration.state servants.state service.violence.women's role.Women.Sex role in the work environment.Customs administrationOfficials and employees.WomenHistoryWomenHistorySex role in the work environmentCustoms administrationOfficials and employeesHistoryCustoms administrationOfficials and employeesHistory352.4/480948509032Ågren Maria1693873MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910823211903321The state as master4080795UNINA
