Women and gender in the early modern low countries, 1500-1750
This publication brings together research on women and gender across the Low Countries, a culturally contiguous region that was split by the Eighty Years' War into the Protestant Dutch Republic in the North and the Spanish-controlled, Catholic Hapsburg Netherlands in the South. The authors of this volume highlight women’s experiences of social class, as family members, before the law, and as authors, artists, and patrons, as well as the workings of gender in art and literature.- Creator

Revisiting gender in European history, 1400–1800
How relevant does gender remain to premodern history in the twenty-first century? This book considers this question in eight case studies that span the European continent from 1400 to 1800. An introductory essay examines the category of gender in historiography and specifically within premodern historiography, as well as the issue of source material for historians of the period.- Creator

Recovering Spain's feminist tradition
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.- Creator

Women telling nations
This publication highlights how, from the 16th to the 19th centuries, European women, as readers and writers, contributed to the construction of national identities. The book, which presents twenty countries, is divided into four parts. First, it examines how women belonged to nations: they represented territories and political or religious communities in their own style. Second, it deals with the ways in which women wrote the nation: the network of relationships in which they were involved that were not necessarily national or territorial. The legitimation that women writers succeeded in finding is emphasised in the third section, while in the fourth is analysed how and why women were open to the outside world, beyond the country's borders.- Creator

Women and work in premodern Europe
This book re-evaluates and extends understandings about how work was conceived and what it could entail for women in the premodern period in Europe from c. 1100 to c. 1800. It does this by building on the growth in literature on women’s working experiences, and by adopting new interpretive approaches that expand received assumptions about what constituted 'work' for women.- Creator

Women warriors in early modern Spain
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.- Creator

Marital economy in Scandinavia and Britain 1400-1900
This volume explores the meaning and importance of marriage in Northern Europe, looking at differences and similarities within and between Scandinavia and the british Isles. The point of departure is the concept of 'marital economy'. It is used to denote the economic partnership of husband and wife, which was the basis of all economic activities in the medieval and early modern period. The book employs a life-course approach, discussing in 13 different empirical studies (1) creating the partnership, (2) managing the partnership, and (3) dissolving the partnership. The studies discuss courtship, servants' work, elite strategies, retirement, inheritance, wills, marital disputes, decision-making, divorce, separation, and various forms of property arrangements. The introduction emphasises the martial economy as a key to understanding pre-modern economic life, and the conclusion discusses the reasons why this key has been lost to modern conceptions of economy.- Creator

Sisters
This volume explores the characteristics, backgrounds and effects of the collective perceptions of Anabaptist/Mennonite women, as well as their self-understanding, from the sixteenth into the nineteenth centuries, in a variety of case studies. This is not a gender study in the traditional sense. The theory of imagology sets the stage for the interpretation of the image of the European Mennonite sisters, acting within their religious, moral, cultural and social landscapes of Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and the Ukraine (tsarist Russia).- Creator

The second part looks at literary and cinematic Arab cultural production as a site for the construction and transgression of gender norms.

Gender and political culture in early modern Europe, 1400-1800

The collection offers a rethinking of what constituted ‘politics’ and a reconsideration of how men and women operated as part of political culture.

Beyond the exotic
Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress.

Slavernij en de Memorie ; Slaaf en Meester
'Dubbelboek' over de slavernij in Suriname en op de Nederlandse Antillen. .In het eerste deel 'Slavernij en de Memorie' vertelt Cynthia McLeod wat slavernij en transatlantische slavenhandel was en wat Nederlands aandeel daarin is geweest van de zestiende tot en met de negentiende eeuw. Aan de hand van archiefstukken en de 'Westindische Plakaaten en Ordonantiën' vertelt zij hoe gedragsregels voor en met slaven zijn vastgelegd en wat dit voor slaven betekende. Zij besluit met een hoofdstuk over de memorie van de slavenhandel in het collectief geheugen van de Nederlander: monument, geschiedenisboeken in het onderwijs, financiële vergoeding, bewustwording. .Tevens is de novelle 'Kofi' van Cynthia McLeod opgenomen en vertelt het levensverhaal van een Afrikaan die geroofd en verhandeld wordt in Afrika en vervolgens slaaf is in Suriname. .Het tweede deel bestaat uit de Nederlandse vertaling van de novelle van Carel de Haseth 'Slaaf en Meester', een vertaling van het in 1988 in het Papiaments verschenen 'Katibu di Shon', gebaseerd op de slavenopstand van 17 augustus 1795 op Curaçao. Het is het verhaal van twee intelligente mannen die als kind als vrienden door het leven gingen en als volwassenen door omstandigheden gedwongen elkaars doodsvijanden worden.- Creator
