In this first comprehensive study of women as economic actors in medieval Norway, Susann Anett Pedersen analyses the economic agency of unmarried heiresses, wives and widows c.1400-1550.

The images are catalogued and may be accessed at www.mip.berkeley.edu/spiro/ "Lifchez Gift" (location) "Venice." The images of buildings mentioned here may be viewed using the "Look up Tables" with the image accession number given beside the building name. The authors' research and field work leading to the establishment of the database began in 2002 and are ongoing.
