From the extraordinarily detailed records kept by Florentine tax collectors and the equally precise ricordanze (household accounts with notations of events great and small), Klapisch-Zuber draws a living picture of the Tuscan household. We learn, for example, how children were named, how wet nurses were engaged, how marriages were negotiated and celebrated. A wealth of other sources are tapped-including city statutes, private letters, philosophical works on marriage, paintings-to determine the social status of women. Klapisch-Zuber reveals how women, in their roles as daughters, wives, sisters, and mothers, were largely subject to a family system that needed them but valued them little.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51677847257376,"sku":"NEW0226439267","price":31.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61DQv_Eql5L.jpg?v=1779297917","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/women-family-and-ritual-in-renaissance-italy-0226439267","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
