The FSU History Department has awarded the 2024 Mary Elizabeth Thomas Dissertation Prize to Dr. Caroline Hackett for "Propriétaires in Plain Sight: The Legal and Economic Autonomy of Married Women in Southern France, 1750-1815."
"Using a convincing blend of narrow case studies and broad statistical summaries, Dr. Hackett shows that, contrary to the prevailing belief, women exercised independent property rights in later eighteenth century France. This dissertation intervenes in a crowded field, and Dr. Hackett does an excellent job of defining a distinct role for her story amidst a complex historiography. Her work exemplifies novel discovery through sustained archival research, lucid use of the literature of the field, and polished presentation."
