Abstract
The purpose of this article is to outline the main characteristics of the issue of violence among and against Vilnian townswomen. Basing on the analysis of the selected examples of the persecution of women contained in the Mayor and City Council Court Books of the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, I tried to answer the following questions: To what extent these books give us the information about violence against women of Vilnius; which forms of violence were noted in court books, and whether the townswomen were victims only? It is important to add that the article is only a contribution to further research into the subject of the violence among and against Vilnian townswomen in the first half of the 18th century.
