This book recovers the lives and aspirations of ordinary French women in a vanished past. It is the first book to give us a study of ordinary French women\u2019s concerns about their lives, menfolk, friendships, and faith, based on a set of rich sources that capture women\u2019s voices \u2013 when most non-elite women who ever lived left no trace of their existence on the record of history.<\/p>\n

Suzannah Lipscomb has closely examined 1,200 detailed moral cases to illuminate the realities of women, sex, and marriage. Her findings demand the reassessment of much of what we thought we knew: women emerge as more resourceful, more violent, and more powerful than we ever thought.<\/p>\n

‘Suzannah Lipscomb’s extraordinary\u00a0Voices of N\u00eemes\u00a0performs that miracle which only the most powerful historians can execute: using a dense archive to re-awaken lost lives: the women of 16th century Protestant N\u00eemes. Here they are to the life, body and soul, faith and feeling, morally intense and sensually driven; vocal, animated, and in their way eloquent. This is a beautiful book, grippingly written, and destined to be a classic of social history.’<\/p>\n
