Bridget Hill examines the social and economic realities of unmarried women in Britain between 1660 and 1850, a demographic frequently obscured by historical stigma. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, the study reconstructs the lives of spinsters across various social classes, challenging traditional narratives that define women solely through their relationships to men.
