With a sharp eye for detail Raisa Maria Toivo explores the gender implications of the complex system of household management and public representation in which seventeenth-century Finnish women and men negotiated their positions. From specific case studies of Finnish peasant women Toivo broadens her narrative to include historiographical discussion on the history of witchcraft on women's and gender history and on early modern social history shedding new light on each theme.
