Chatelaine Finance
Chatelaine finance, a term largely unheard of today, refers to the financial autonomy and management responsibilities held by a chatelaine. Historically, a chatelaine was the mistress of a castle or large estate, and her role extended far beyond mere social grace. She was, in essence, the chief operating officer of her domain, responsible for a multitude of crucial tasks, including the astute management of the estate’s finances.
