Abstract
In 1620 a short-tempered Welsh lawyer launched an intemperate verbal attack on some London shopkeepers and was taken aback by the response: “all the women in the street hard by Holborn conduit did beat him very sore and abuse him vilely.”¹ While men ruled in early modern England, many women at all social levels also found ways to exercise agency, sometimes, as here, to curb the abuses of male hegemony.
