Widows’ law in the guilds of the Early Modern Rheims
2010

Widows’ law was not limited to professional qualifications; even though women had chances to learn the trade, the absence of professional knowledge was seen as a norm. Thus widows, unlike their late husbands could not work unassisted and were not allowed to teach new professionals.
