Reviews"Ulinka Rublack's study of women and crime in sixteenth and seventeenth centuries....is a sophisticated analysis of female agency that is also rich in human detail and nuanced in its treatment of diverse cases and personal relationships....[A] remarkable achievement."--Central European History, 'The aims of the study - to show how elites used law to enforce their notions of moral and sexual order and how this affected ordinary women - are admirably met.'Gartine Walker, Cardiff University, German History.

Synopsis'The Crimes of Women in Early Modern Germany' is a fascinating study of 'deviant' women. It is the first scholarly account of how women were prosecuted for theft, infanticide, and sexual crimes in early modern Germany, and challenges the assumption that women were treated more leniently than men. Ulinka Rublack uses criminal trials to illuminate the social status and conflicts of women living through the Reformation and Thirty Years War, telling, for the first time, the stories of cutpurses, maidservants' dangerous liaisons, and artisans' troubled marriages. She provides a thought-provoking analysis of labelling and sentencing processes, and of the punishments inflicted on those found guilty. Above all, she brilliantly engages with the way 'ordinary' women experienced authority and sexuality, household and community., This fascinating study is the first to investigate the crimes of women living in Germany during the time of the Reformation and the Thirty Years War. Ulinka Rublack draws on court records to examine the lives of shrewd cutpurses, quarreling artisan wives, and soldiers' concubines, and explores women's experiences of communities and courtship, marriage, the family, and the law., This fascinating study is the first to investigate the crimes of women living in Germany during the time of the Reformation and the Thirty Years War.
