Criminaliteit is een mannenzaak, toch? Niet als we naar het verleden kijken. Vrouwen zijn nu verantwoordelijk voor 10 procent van de criminaliteit in Nederland, maar tussen 1600 en 1800 hadden ze een veel groter aandeel. In de Hollandse steden in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw was soms meer dan de helft van de vervolgde misdadigers vrouw. De verklaring hiervoor ligt in de bijzondere positie van vrouwen in de Hollandse steden tijdens deze periode. Ze stonden er vaak alleen voor en waren daardoor zelfstandig maar ook kwetsbaar, en die combinatie bracht hen vaker op het criminele pad. Dit boek gaat over deze vergeten groep uit de geschiedenis: de duizenden vrouwen die voor de rechtbanken kwamen. Het toont tot welke misdrijven zij werden gedreven, wat voor excuses zij noemden tijdens de verhoren, wie over hen klaagde en wie hen hielp, en hoe zij door rechters werden beoordeeld. De wereld van misdadige vrouwen is een ver haal van wanhoop, armoede en kwetsbaarheid, maar ook van vrijheid, zelfstandigheid en vechtlust.

Bringing together the most current research on the relationship between crime and gender in the West between 1600 and 1914, this authoritative volume places female criminality within its everyday context. It reveals how their socio-economic and cultural contexts provided women with 'agency' against a range of European backdrops, despite a fundamentally patriarchal criminal justice system, and includes in-depth analysis of original sources to show how changing living standards, employment, schooling and welfare arrangements had a direct impact on the quality of life of working class women, their risk of becoming involved in crime, and the likelihood of being prosecuted for it. Rather than treating women's criminality as always exceptional, this study draws out the similarities between female and male criminality, demonstrating how an understanding of specific cultural and socio-economic contexts is essential to explain female criminality, both why their criminal patterns changed, and how their crimes were represented by contemporaries.
