Women in the Ledger Stones: New Histories at Newcastle Cathedral

这位博士试图以纽卡斯尔大教堂的账本石为起点，对17世纪和18世纪中产阶级女性的生活进行更深入的调查，重新建立她们的声音。大教堂里的许多分类石与男性分类石相比，几乎没有关于这些女性的信息，它们通常被简单地称为“他的妻子”，有时甚至没有死亡日期。本文将通过对账本石中女性名字的调查，来展示她们充满活力和独特的生活，她们是纽卡斯尔生活中的关键人物。

This PhD seeks to re-establish the voices of a middling class of woman in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, using Newcastle Cathedral's ledger stones as a starting point into a deeper investigation of their lives. Many of the ledger stones at the Cathedral have very little information on the women compared to their male counterparts, where they are often referred to simply as "his wife", sometimes without even a date of death. This thesis would investigate the women named in the ledger stones to show the lives they lived were vibrant and unique, and that they were key figures in Newcastle life.
