Geneviève Aclocque (Léopoldine Marcelle Geneviève Aclocque) (5 May 1884 - 28 August 1967) was a French historian.[1]
Biography
[edit]Geneviève Aclocque was born on 5 May 1884 in Lyon. In 1906, She became the first woman to be admitted to the École Nationale des Chartes. She graduated in 1910.[2]
In 1917 she published a “historical study of the trades at Chartres.”[3] An ordinance of wool makers at Chartres allowed women to participate in trade.[4] According to Aclocque, the early stages of wool production were undertaken by the male workers, while the spinning was done by women using distaffs. There was also a practice in which the master weavers of wool at Chartres could teach their heirs, male or female, to replace them as masters of the trade.[5][4]
Her studies also revealed links between trade practices and certain religious rituals.[6] Further her publications claim that in order to avoid even a reduced tax, the tavern keepers sold their wine in Chartres' nave.[7]
She was married to historian Joseph de Croy. She died on 28 August 1967 in Saint-Antoine-du-Rocher.[1]
