Aproximación al papel de la mujer en la institución notarial malagueña en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII: la fémina como propietaria, transmisora y señora del oficio = Approach to the role of women in the notarial institution of Malaga...

Abstract

The notarial institution has been analyzed from the decade of the eighties of the last century from multiple perspectives; however, the role played by the woman in the institution has been obviated by historiography. Only a few authors have studied it tangentially in larger works about Spanish notary. Therefore, in the present work we will focus our analysis on the role of woman as owners, sender and property of this job in the XVIIIth century to the province of Malaga. For this, we have used the documentation corresponding to the Cadastre of Ensenada and the local documentation kept both in the Municipal Archive of Malaga and in the Provincial Historical Archive of the same capital.
