While focusing on a single case study, it offers insights into broader patterns of gender discrimination across Europe, particularly in countries shaped by social upheaval, economic instability, and deeply entrenched patriarchal structures. The book combines extensive quantitative analysis of population records, census data, and economic indicators such as dowries with innovative qualitative research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike similar studies in other regions, this book employs a multidisciplinary approach. Integrating mixed methods and sources, including census data, contemporary literature, oral histories, and folklore, it provides a nuanced understanding of local variations, mentalities, and socio-economic factors influencing discriminatory practices. The book challenges the conventional narrative that Europe did not experience high levels of gender discrimination in childhood during this period. Drawing on sources ranging from foundling hospital records to folkloric texts, it uncovers the major social and economic dimensions of this phenomenon in Greece. It also pays particular attention to skewed sex ratios and women’s labour and economic opportunities, examining how these intersected with regional family systems and gender inequalities, while opening avenues for future research into their longer-term social and economic implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will be an important read for scholars in economic history, population economics, gender history, historical demography, and ethnography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEftychia Kalaitzidou\u003c\/strong\u003e is a researcher at the Department of Historical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her PhD research, conducted within the project \"Missing Girls in Historical Europe\", examined gender discrimination, excess female mortality, and girls’ experiences in Greece during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She is currently a researcher in the project \"All the Names\", which investigates historical naming practices and their relationship to family, identity, migration, and social change. Her broader research interests include gender and family history, historical demography, childhood, naming and identity, migration, war and political violence, and gendered experiences of conflict, with particular emphasis on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032443618\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62315501420684,"sku":"9783032443618","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032443618","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
