THE TRANSMISSION OF WELL-BEING KARTONIERT (TB)

What does well-being mean when we talk about men and women in the past? Their sheer chances of
survival  their protection from want  their social status  their individual agency and their
self-esteem were all strongly mediated by the family  the predominant social institution.
Family laws and customs of family formation created differences between insiders and outsiders
in terms of well-being. Within families  there were strong differences in autonomy  status and
freedom between the genders and generations. The book offers a fascinating exploration of
gender differences in well-being in many regions of historic Europe  with some comparative
perspectives. It explores how historic family systems differed with respect to choosing a
marriage partner  transmitting property  living and care conditions of widows and widowers and
the position of children born out of wedlock.
