内容简介
《边缘女人》是一部集中于个体的十七世纪欧洲社会史、文化史研究。以微观史学代表人物著称的娜塔莉·泽蒙·戴维斯通过流传于世的回忆录、自传、著作等历史文献，梳理了十七世纪欧洲三位女性（商人格莉克尔、训导者玛丽、艺术家兼博物学家梅里安）的人生经历，进而研究十七世纪的社会历史，是颇具代表性的文化史、社会史著作。
其中，格莉克尔写下了七卷本带有教导训育色彩的回忆录，玛丽写下了诸多的书信和自传，梅里安留下的则是昆虫和植物的博物学著作以及大量的水彩画。她们都不是一举一动都为我们熟知的女王或贵族女性，而是生活在欧洲、北美和南美的“边缘地带”。作者根据她们的回忆录、手稿等，重构这三位身份差别甚大的女性的生活，展示了十七世纪女性生活的多样性。
她们既不是贵族，也不是谁的缪斯，她们从未淹没在母亲的身份中，也从未作为妻子而被抹杀。她们三位身处“边缘”的普通女性，却微微撼动了那个坚不可摧的男性世界。

Content introduction
Women on the Edge is a study of the social and cultural history of seventeenth century Europe that focuses on individuals. Natalie Zemon Davis, who is known as the representative figure of microhistory, combs the life experiences of three European women (merchant Greecer, trainer Mary, artist and naturalist Merian) through historical documents such as memoirs, autobiographies and works that are circulated in the world, and then studies the social history of the 17th century.
Among them, Glicker wrote seven volumes of doctrinaire memoirs, Mary wrote numerous letters and autobiographies, and Merian left behind a natural history of insects and plants and a large number of watercolor paintings. They were not the queens or aristocratic women we all know, but lived in the "periphories" of Europe, North America and South America. Based on their memoirs and manuscripts, the author reconstructs the lives of these three women with very different identities, showing the diversity of women's life in the 17th century.
They were neither aristocrats nor anyone's MUSES, they were never drowned in motherhood, nor erased as wives. They are three ordinary women in the "edge", but slightly shook the indestructible male world.
