- Abstract
The article is focused on the women of one family - the mother, wife and daughter of the elterman of boaters Tomass Sēlis - over three generations, attempting to reveal the fate of women in the context of the trade assistant professions in Riga in economically favourable and unfavourable circumstances for the boaters. The article reveals the consolidated environment that was established by the families of trade assistant professions in Riga to strengthen mutual kinship ties in a certain part of the city. The article also illustrates the diversity in terms of property, the terms and conditions of marriage contracts, as well as the circumstances of widows and orphans in such families. The article is based on the materials of Riga court proceedings.
