HOW GOLDEN FOR WOMEN WAS THE DUTCH GOLDEN AGE?
POSTPONED
Join NNI Director Deborah Hamer & NYU Professor Susanah Romney for this virtual talk sponsored by the New Amsterdam History Center & the New-York Historical Society.
The discussion will explore the social role of women in New Netherland, Brazil, and other places in the expanding Dutch world of the seventeenth century. What pathways and options were available to women in the Dutch empire? What part did social class play in their choices and strategies? How did marriage and local marriage regulations affect the ability of wives and unmarried females to survive and to flourish, or not, in colonial imperial societies? How influential were women in building colonial societies? And how closely, or not, did those societies resemble a Dutch paradigm?
