"Trades were more inheritable than surnames, and this probably contributed to the 'de-feminization' of Baxter…"
Well, that would explain the entry in the book stating that "only two examples have been noted with a woman's christian name." I see now that the authors are referring to the surname as being more of an occupational title than an inherited name.
Very interesting book! Thanks for the recommendation. :)
