The heroine starts out as a down-trodden young woman who turns to a benevolent man who owns a lace shop. She has refined skills as a needle lacemaker and he hires her. From this beginning, she eventually marries extremely well, buys the lace shop, and invents bobbin lace. Seems a very unlikely scenario in those days...
That's one of this astonishing things from the Northern Netherlands of that days, that women there had a strong possition. It was the only country in Europe at that time were women were allowed to held the husbands shop after his dead. And other things like this. So this scenario at that time at that place could have been possible.
