Inheritance and marriage were two of the most important ways in which property was transferred and social position was reproduced in early modern societies. The law and legal practice governing these matters in Lower Austria were remarkably egalitarian regarding gender, creating – at least in theory – a wide scope of economic action for women. This paper explores gendered patterns of property transfers and credit relations and what they can tell us about women’s property rights as legal practice.
