| Περίληψη: | Using material drawn from across
eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England, this chapter charts single,
widowed and married women’s contribution to estate management. It explores
women’s role in the financial management of landed estates as well as other
more ‘hands on’ aspects of estate management, including setting and collecting
rents, negotiating with tenants about rent, tenancies and repairs, supervising
home farms, managing timber resources and otherwise determining estate policy
