Pressezitat
"Reinke-Williams usefully builds on the work of other scholars to investigate precisely how women actively acquired credit through motherhood, housewifery, domestic management, work, and sociability. His in-depth discussions of motherhood and women who took in lodgers are especially novel and welcome additions to a literature that has focused on relations between spouses and neighbors." (Eleanor Hubbard, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 68 (4), 2015)"Women, Work and Sociability in Early Modern London is a comprehensive, well-written and exciting addition to a growing scholarship investigating how the middling sort and labouring poor forged and expressed positive identities for themselves in early modern England, particularly through their work and sociability. It particularly opens up new directions for histories of women's work during thisperiod, moving away from the arguable binaries of previous historiography which has so often limited itself to particular evidence bases." - Reviews in History
