| 요약 | Jehan Boinebroke, a wool merchant who thrived between c. 1250 and 1285, was arguably the most powerful international merchant of his day. Yet, he was hardly alone. Women from the Boinebroke family established themselves independently as prominent entrepreneurs at the local market, and they also exercised considerable control as the administrators of religious communities. Despite Jehan Boinebroke's notoriety and the rich archival sources for medieval Douai, the city in the southern Low Countries where the Boinebrokes prospered, this project is the first to focus on the Boinebroke women. Women from elite Douaisien families like the Boinebrokes worked in the urban economy as drapers and as sellers of woolen cloth, sometimes ranking among the top performers in their professions at the local market. The scope of women's economic activities stretched beyond commerce. The Boinebroke women also performed administrative labor as abbesses and as the leaders of urban hospitals, where they employed skills of literacy, accounting, and record-keeping. This study further examines the unique familial customs in Douai that enabled women to establish themselves, even before they married, in business and artisanal workshops. Personal documents such as testaments and marriage contracts reveal that citizens of Douai spent considerable energy training their children-both sons and daughters-in a trade before they reached adulthood. Keeping the larger practices of professional preparation in mind, this study explores the connection between women's varied economic activities and the social and religious networks they cultivated within and around the city. The Boinebrokes dominated the political landscape of Douai, and women's work served an integral place in the family strategy of urban elites, particularly during times of war and political upheaval. This dissertation thus sheds light on how political power and social class intersected with gender, enabling some medieval women to rise to positions within the urban economy and within religious communities. |
