| Abstrakt: |
The following work is an outline of the issue of employment and acceptance of an early modern woman as the head of a craft workshop, usually after the death of her husband, i.e. as a widow. It is an essay based on the examples of bookbinding and book printing families from the city of Pressburg, in one case with an overlap to the city of Buda. The aim of this essay in this case is not a thorough examination of lives of the women concerned as leaders of craft workshops, but rather an outline of the time frame of their work, the description of their era and the content of their endeavour. It can serve as a basis for further, deeper research in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
