The WSG is excited to announce that the keynote speaker for our 2019 annual workshop will be Anne Laurence, Professor Emerita at the Open University. Anne’s research interests include gender and the eighteenth-century financial revolution, women investors and property. She is the author of several works including Women in England 1500-1760: A Social History (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1994, repr. 2002, 2005), and, with Josephine Maltby and Janette Rutterford (eds), Women and their Money 1700-1950: Essays on Women and Finance (Routledge, 2009). She will be speaking on ‘Women, land and its meanings 1640-1740’.
The overall theme of the workshop is women, gender and land, and the date for the workshop has been fixed for Saturday 18 May 2019. Registrations for the workshop will open in the spring, and participants are usually expected to bring a 5-minute contribution related to the theme to present in the afternoon. Places will be advertised first to the wsg members mailing list – to find out before everyone else, why not become a member?
