- Description
- In thirteen essays, this publication investigates questions about early modern British women’s figurative, material, and cultural relationships with books. The volume’s three-part structure highlights case studies of individual readers and their libraries: analyses of readers and readership in the context of their interpretive communities: and new types of scholarly evidence - lists of confiscated books and convent rules, for example - as well as new methodologies and technologies for ongoing research.

- Description
- This collection of essays discloses the different ways in which Spanish women writers have described and resisted socially imposed limitations on their gender. The contributions provide a balance between writers well known in Spain and those who have only recently received critical attention, from Santa Teresa de Jesús and Maria de Zayas to Emilia Pardo Bazán and Montserrat Roig. The last three essays in the volume focus on Spain's 'double minorities' : Catalan women writers.

- Description
- The essays in this volume investigate the lives of six Habsburg women who, as queens-consort, queens-regent, a vicereine, and a nun, left an indelible mark on the diplomatic and cultural map of early modern Europe. Contributors examine the national and transnational impact of these notable women through their biographies, and explore how they transferred their cultural, religious, and political traditions as the women moved from one court to another. Early Modern Habsburg Women investigates the complex lives of Philip II's daughter, the Infanta Catalina Micaela (1567-1597): her daughter, Margherita of Savoy, Vicereine of Portugal (1589-1655): and Maria Maddalena of Austria, Grand Duchess of Florence (1589-1631). The second generation of Habsburg women that the volume addresses includes Philip IV's first wife, Isabel of Borbon (1602-1644), who became a Habsburg by marriage: Rudolph II's daughter, Sor Ana Dorotea (1611-1694), the only Habsburg nun in the collection: and Philip IV's second wife, Mariana of Austria (1634-1696), queen-regent and mother to the last Spanish Habsburg.

- Description
- This collection of essays provides a study of how Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus (1454-1510): Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603): Mary Stuart Queen of Scots (1542-1587): Anne of Denmark (1574-1619): and Spain's María Luisa de Orleáns (1662-1689) either succeeded in promoting authority and inspiring loyalty, or had identities shaped for them for various political, religious, or cultural reasons. Knowledge of material culture, and how such objects created specific gender identities, reveals new insights into these queens' lives, as they flourished in court, as members of their communities received them, and as individuals appropriated and shaped their reputations during their lives and after their deaths.

- Description
- This volume builds on existing scholarship on representations of the breast, the iconography of the Madonna Lactans, allegories of abundance, nature, and charity, women mystics' food-centered practices of devotion, the ubiquitous practice of wet-nursing, and medical theories of conception. It is informed by studies on queer kinship in early modern Europe, notions of sacred eroticism in pre-tridentine Catholicism, feminist investigations of breastfeeding as a sexual practice, and by anthropological and historical scholarship on milk exchange and ritual kinship in ancient Mediterranean and medieval Islamic societies.

- Description
- The essays examine women in early modern Spain who defended their right to make their own decisions, defined their own identities, battled the status quo, challenged authority, and broke barriers. Such women did not necessarily engage in masculine pursuits, but often used cultural production and engaged in social subversion to exercise resistance in the home, in the convent, as actors and producers in the theater, women as dramatic subjects in plays on stage, and as writers, poets and readers. One part of the book is about Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582).
Each author makes a short nod to Bárbara Mujica, whose career this book celebrates, and her contribution to the field of Spanish literature, theater, women's studies, Teresian studies, and historical fiction.

- Description
- This book presents a comparative history of major medieval and Renaissance European women writers in their relationship to national canons of literature. Challenging the notion of an oppressive patriarchy that discouraged women from writing and publishing, the fifteen essays collected here examine women's participation in fashionable male literary modes, trace their creation of female canons, and explore the history of their reception, from the fifteenth century to the present.

- Description
- The contributors look at how women composed, assuming that compositional gender strategies may have been used differently when applied through her vision: how women were composed, or represented and interpreted through music in a larger cultural context, and how her presence in that dialog situated her in social space. They describe trace how women found music as a means for communicating, establishing intellectual power, generating musical tastes and for enhancing the quality of their lives: the impact of women who performed publicly on their lives and families: and how some women made their own money with music.
