"Finally, Jennifer Ward looks at the noble women of East Anglia, particularly Sussex, Suffolk, and Essex. She shows how their economic and political power would have an impact on local life. Through their patronage of the local parish church, local artisans, and food producers, noble women had the ability to shape local life and advance the interests of their own families."
