Focusing on the lives of poorer and middling women in early modern England, the book highlights their efforts to navigate a society that often marginalized them. It emphasizes the importance of close-knit friendships, or "gossips," which offered crucial moral and practical support. These networks empowered women to influence their own lives and engage actively in their local communities, showcasing their resilience and agency in a challenging environment.
