The article focuses on the role of Jewish women who were active as business women in the 16th and 17th centuries. It discusses mainly noble women who administrated businesses after their husbands had died, women who worked in business with their husbands, and those who built their own businesses. Using sources from the areas of Austria and Bohemia, the author examines legal issues faced by the women and focuses on the particular case of Gertraud Munk and Anna Goldscheiderin, both money lenders.
