Reviews

Stilistisch angenehm schnoerkellos geschrieben bzw. von David McKay in flussiges und leicht lesbares Englisch ubersetzt, bietet van der Heijden eine deskriptive Synthese des empirischen Forschungsstands. Jedes Kapitel schliesst mit einer konzisen Zusammenfassung. Ein gut durchdachtes Sachregister erleichtert die schnelle Orientierung uber die jeweiligen thematischen Aspekte. Francisca Loetz, Zurich, in: Zeitschrift fur Historische Forschung 45 (2018) 1, pp. 167-169. This book is the product of Van der Heijden's wide-ranging research interests and is a great contribution to several academic fields. I recommended it for anyone interested in crime, Dutch law, marriage, and women during the early modern period. Amanda Pipkin, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Volume LXX, No. 4, pp. 1570-1571. In Women and Crime in Early Modern Holland, Manon Van der Heydenconvincingly tackles some persistent assumptions about the criminal behavior of early modern women. [...] Smoothly combining legal history, gender history and social and economic history, the author discusses the daily experiences, worries - such as poverty - and aspirations of early modern female criminals. [...] The wealth of information combined with constant comparing of early modern crimes with their current definitions ensures that this book is of value for both professionals and the broader public. Ans Vervaeke, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in: BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review, Volume 133 (2018), review 44. Anyone interested in crime, urbanization, or gender history can profit from reading this volume. Van der Heijden is a reliable guide to the situation in the cities of Holland, to the status of women, and to the complexities of the Dutch legal system. Mary Lindemann, University of Miami, in: EMWJ, Vol. 13, No. 1 (Fall 2018), pp. 233-236.
