Abstract

The article examines the place and role of women in the social life of London in the 14th–15th centuries based on the material of the original sources. It is shown that, despite the restrictions fixed by custom and laws on the social activity of women, the range of occupations of the townsmen –wives and widows – was unusually wide. It is craft and trade, including the right to take apprentices, real estate transactions, and financial deals. Women did not just help men in the craft or trade shops, but also worked independently. The status of women, especially married women, who chose to participate in trade or in town production as their main occupation, was never fully developed. A significant degradation in the position of women in the public sphere in London occurred in the 16th century. The author concludes that, despite all the difficulties, a new type of woman was gradually developed in the city – energetic, enterprising, educated, who acts in society as an independent head of the family and business.
中世纪城镇社会生活中的妇女(取材于14 - 15世纪的伦敦)
本文以原始资料为基础,考察了14 - 15世纪伦敦社会生活中女性的地位和角色。这表明,尽管习俗和法律对妇女的社会活动有一定的限制,但城镇男子的职业范围——妻子和寡妇——却异常广泛。它是手艺和贸易,包括接受学徒的权利、房地产交易和金融交易。女性不仅在手工或贸易商店里帮助男性,而且还独立工作。选择参加贸易或城镇生产作为主要职业的妇女,特别是已婚妇女的地位从未得到充分发展。16世纪,伦敦女性在公共领域的地位显著下降。作者的结论是,尽管困难重重,一种新型的女性在城市中逐渐发展起来——她们精力充沛,有进取心,受过教育,在社会上作为家庭和企业的独立负责人。
