Shulamit and Margarete : Power, Gender, and Religion in a Rural Society in Eighteenth-Century Europe (Studies in Central European Histories)

The book tells the life stories of women who lived in the eighteenth century in a Christian-Jewish village on the border of Germany and France. This microhistorical approach allows the author to uncover fascinating artefacts of a cultural contact between Christians and Jews that was part of a social order based on pluralism and diversity.
