While women have always worked, Rabuzzi notes they have rarely received much credit for their work and have faced barriers when seeking highly paid, highly prestigious jobs. Rabuzzi, who specializes in Germany, Scandinavia, early modern Europe and European economic history, will discuss how women's work was devalued in early modern Europe and its colonies. He will focus on women's falling rates of participation in finance, trade and investing in an effort to link the historical development to the modern climate in Europe and the United States.
