Silent Partners: Women as Public Investors During Britain's Financial Revolution, 1690-1750

Description

Women were active participants in London's first stock market beginning in the 1690s and continuing through the eighteenth century. Whether playing the state lottery, investing in government funds or speculating in company stocks, women regularly comprised between a fifth and a third of public investors. There was no single female investor type, rather some women ran risks and speculated in stocks while others sought out low-risk, low-return options for their retirement years.
