Unveiling the private life of the 18th Century (a divorce act of 1795)
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper exploits the content of a very important document, found in the National Archives of the Republic of Moldova. Its valuable information enhances the insight into the private life of the late eighteenth century. The case study – which is the subject of the article - is based on a divorce act of 1795. It shows not only the law of the time, but also the particularities of the social and legal position held by women. In other words, this article identifies new aspects of private life, which can be analyzed both in terms of mentalities and that of gender relations.
