They pertain to female economic contribution in specific geographical areas and countries such as Greece, Italy, a number of regions of France, Greek-speaking regions in the Ottoman-ruled Macedonia, and two countries in the Balkans: Romania and Bulgaria. Additionally, it compares and contrasts female economic agency in the above regions which is a field that hitherto lacks thorough study. Polly Thanailaki explores female contribution to the finances of their family and to the economy of their country and how they interlaced in a transnational historical setting, further exploring social norms and trading practices in these regions. The methodology is based on the study of original printed sources such as archives, newspapers, and journals of the period, along with secondary sources of literature. The book addresses the nexus of gender, economy, and society covering a broad spectrum of gender studies, economic history and social history in time and in geographic space. 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aSocial History 606 $aEuropean History 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 14$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 676 $a305.42 676 $a338.04082094 700 $aThanailaki$b Polly$0848107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483194303321 996 $aGendered Stereotypes and Female Entrepreneurship in Southern Europe, 1700-1900$91894191 997 $aUNINA
