Hij zet zich met succes in voor de wettelijke gelijkberechtiging van de Nederlandse joden en wordt in 1797 de eerste joodse volksver- tegenwoordiger in Europa. Een jaar later is Lémon betrokken bij een unitaristische staatsgreep, die ertoe leidt dat Nederland voor het eerst een betrekkelijk democratische grondwet krijgt. In 1813 raakt hij betrokken bij een samenzwering tegen de Franse machthebbers. Bloemgarten vond belangrijke documenten, die een onverwacht licht werpen op de rol die Lémon in werkelijk- heid bij deze samenzwering heeft gespeeld.

Met reden: de textielnijverheid was er in de 17e en 18e eeuw een belangrijke economische tak, waarin zowel mannen als vrouwen werkten. De studie levert een schat aan nieuwe gegevens op. Zo blijkt dat, anders dan velen denken, spinnen geen exclusief vrouwenberoep was: ook veel mannen Verkrijgbaar in de sponnen. Dit onderzoek maakt duidelijk dat binnen de textielnij- betere boekhandel verheid zeker sprake was van arbeidsdeling naar sekse, maar dat of rechtstreeks bij deze niet eenduidig kan worden verklaard. Er ligt een intrigerend web van economische, socioculturele en institutionele factoren de uitgeverij aan ten grondslag, die elkaar beïnvloedden én versterkten. Niet- temin lijken economische ontwikkelingen en de opkomst van de loonarbeid doorslaggevend te zijn geweest. Eerste deel in de minireeks Vrouwen en werk in de vroegmoderne tijd.

Theo Engelen & Hsieh Ying-Hui Two cities, one life Marriage and fertility in Lugang and Nijmegen (ISBN 978 90 5260 214 1, 176 pages, € 25,00) Historical processes are the result of the behavior of countless individual actors. In this book, therefore, the authors compare the demography of the Taiwanese town Lugang and the Dutch town Nijmegen using data on the lifes of thousands of their inhabitants. The period covered is approximately 1850 to 1945. First, the standard demographic rates on nuptiality, fertility and mortality are calculated to test the Malthusian predictions on a so called ‘positive’ and a ‘preventive’ demographic regime.
