Harris's important and engaging study draws from family archives (including marriage contracts, accounts, inventories, letters), State Papers, Chancery cases, and over a thousand men's and women's wills to argue that aristocratic Yorkist and early Tudor women's responsibilities "constituted female careers" which, although "not professions in the modern sense," gave them considerable power over their families, servants, and communities (5). We've been shadow boxing with our own version of a Lancastrian and Yorkist rivalry. Bishop John Fisher's month-mind (sermon) on Lady Margaret Beaufort (1509), which presents her as an exemplary female, is one of the few that survive and may have been the first to have been printed, but the frequency with which Yorkist and early Tudor aristocratic women bequeathed money for their month-minds makes it unlikely that it was unique. |
