The Christians Pattern, or, A Divine Treatise of the Imitation of Christ

Title:

The Christians Pattern, or, A Divine Treatise of the Imitation of Christ

Description:

Women could not legally own print shops, but a widow was permitted to continue the family printing business under her own name until she remarried (occasionally to one of the apprentices in the shop), or until a son came of age. Often successful, many widows flourished as independent businesswomen, responsible for operations, finances, and the supervision of pressmen and compositors. Elizabeth Redmayne actively printed in London from 1683 to 1706.
