DESCRIPTION:In 17th-century France\, even small-scale traders used ‘acco
 unt books’ as instruments of everyday commercial activity. Wives usually
  kept accounts in small enterprises\, producing perhaps the largest surviv
 ing corpus of non-elite women’s writing. The ‘books’ were freighted 
 with legal\, commercial\, cultural and personal meanings. The gendering of
  financial record keeping is one of the ways in which women were integral 
 in the intensification of market practices.
