Seven essays draw from archival material in Castile, Leon, Toledo, and Seville to demonstrate that women managed large estates, conducted the economic life of monasteries, and produced wealth through their labor as migrant and farm workers. They also show that the survival of cultural traditions, the writing and illustrating of manuscripts, and the flowering of the printing industry were in the capable hands of women.
