Summary
"This book's major aim is to compare the well-being of people differing in civic status, economic standing, and gender during Amsterdam's Golden Age. A secondary aim is to identify, describe, and explain the mechanisms linking people's positions in three systems of inequality to the wellness of their being."--BOOK JACKET.
