"We know very little about spinsters in earlier times, for the stigma attached to the unmarried state often rendered these women almost invisible. Now this book opens a window into the lives of English spinsters in the mid-seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, assessing the opportunities open to them and the restrictions placed upon them within different social classes, occupations and periods."--BOOK JACKET.
