Working on urban development, gender and history from below more broadly in the early modern period
This January, I delved into Mikkel Leth Jespersen’s Kvinde om bord, a fascinating study of 19th-century Southern Jutland’s captain’s wives who sailed the world. It challenges gender stereotypes and adds nuance to Danish maritime history (It’s also up for Danish Historical Book of the Year). (1/9)

This exciting book has just been published! 📘 If you wish to read more on Danish #earlymodern #magic, take a look at my chapter called ‘The Devil’s Sacraments’: Magical Practice During the Time of the Danish Witch Trials (1589–1660).

A great thanks to the editors!
