Book Description Yellow Cloth. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First American. Yellow Cloth. As New/Fine. First American. Hardback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 636 pages; 21 p. index; 50 p. bibliograph; 46 illustrations; from the dj: "Rich, poor, aristocrat in an Italian palazzo, peasant in a German forest hut or citified wife of a Dutch burgher, a woman's life during these centuries was--as Hufton shows in a portrait both close up and panoramic--shaped in the profoundest sense in the same way. The apparent strength--land, wealth, power and prestige--lay almost exclusively in the hands of men, but Hutton also makes clear just how much men and women worked together and--without thinking of it in those terms, or for the most part being aware of it at all--just how much women were able to influence and control." Book weighs circa 2.4 pounds. Seller Inventory # 001825
