A jury of her peers
This book is the history of American women writers from 1650 to 2000. Showalter introduces more than 250 female writers. These include not only famous and expected names (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Willa Cather, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O’Connor, Toni Morrison among them), but also many who were once successful and acclaimed yet now are little known, from the early American best-selling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Susan Glaspell. Showalter shows how these writers—both the enduring stars and the ones left behind by the canon—were connected to one another and to their times. She believes it is time to fully integrate the contributions of women into the American literary heritage.- Creator

Zij namen het woord
In Zij namen het woord schetst Dijkgraaf de portretten van uitzonderlijke, schrijvende Franse vrouwen uit de 17e tot de 21e eeuw. Ze schrijven, ze spreken, ze gaan de barricaden op, ze doorbreken taboes, ze verleggen grenzen. En ze bieden inspiratie – door hun boeken, hun denkbeelden, hun daden of hun karakter. De een is grondlegger van de Europese literatuur, de volgende vecht voor de positie van de vrouw als schrijfster, weer een ander richt haar pijlen op onrechtvaardigheid en ongelijkheid of eist voor de niet-westerse stem een plek op in de literatuur. Allemaal zijn ze Franstalig, rebels, tegendraads. .De schrijfsters die besproken worden zijn: Madame de Sévigné, Madame de Staël, George Sand, Colette, Nathalie Sarraute, Simone de Beauvoir, Francoise Sagan, Maryse Condé, Annie Ernaux en Lydie Salvayre.- Creator

Ook aandacht voor de gezusters Visscher en Loveling niet, en het duo Wolff en Deken. Gereviseerde en uitgebreide bewerking van de bloemlezing ‘Met en zonder lauwerkrans’ (1997).

The history of British women's writing, 1500-1610
Rethinking the history of women's writing and literary history itself, this second volume in the Series 'The History of British Women's Writing' examines the diversity of early women's writing (from verse and songs to household records and recipes), offering a new paradigm for understanding women's shaping roles in the literary, religious, and political movements of the sixteenth century.- Creator

Women warriors in early modern Spain

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

Newtonianism for the ladies and other uneducated souls
In the course of the eighteenth century, lay people came to see science as an authority beyond criticism. The cultural status that science acquired continued for centuries and, even though it has been challenged in our times, science is still one of our main sources of meaning. In spite of universalist claims, eighteenth-century philosophers and popularizers did not grant women, traditionally the emblem of the uneducated, access to the sanctuary of science. Rather, the popularization of science funtioned as an effective means for preaching the Enlightenment gospel to an educated laity.- Creator

Prodigious muse
Cox argues that women’s writing flourished in the period following 1560, reaching beyond the customary 'feminine' genres of lyric, poetry, and letters to experiment with pastoral drama, chivalric romance, tragedy, and epic. There were few widely practiced genres in this eclectic phase of Italian literature to which women did not turn their hand. .In addition to familiar, secular works by authors such as Isabella Andreini, Moderata Fonte, and Lucrezia Marinella, Cox also discusses important writings that have largely escaped critical interest, including Fonte’s and Marinella’s vivid religious narratives, an unfinished Amazonian epic by Maddalena Salvetti, and the startlingly fresh autobiographical lyrics of Francesca Turina Bufalini.- Creator

Literary circles and gender in early modern Europe
Examining the interactions of early modern male and female writers within the context of literary circles, Campbell investigates the ways the querelle des femmes as a discursive rhetorical tradition of praise and blame influenced women who participated in literary circles in Italy, France and England from 1530 to 1650. Campbell pairs selected female and male writers to analyze the way the woman writer responds, deflects or rewrites the male writer's ideological script about women. Her analysis of the confrontation between querelle issues and the new figure of the learned women contributes to a greater understanding of the connections between different national literatures of the period.- Creator

Women writing back / writing women back
The papers collected in this volume address early modern female authorship from the late Middle Ages to the end of the eighteenth century, ranging geographically from Portugal to Russia, and from Italy to Denmark. In particular, they focus on three themes: the creation of female spaces or communities: women's appropriation of existing or developing literary genres: and transnational perspectives on early modern women's writings.- Creator

The rule of women in early modern Europe
This collection brings a transcultural and transnational perspective to the study of early modern women rulers and female sovereignty. Contributors to the volume juxtapose rulers from different countries, including Isabel of Castile and Elizabeth Tudor, as well as Isabeau of Bavaria, Jeanne d'Albret, Isabel Clara Eugenia, Juana of Austria, and Catherine of Brandenburg. Several essays also focus on the representations of foreign rulers such as Catherine de Medici in England and Elizabeth I in France. Drawing on early modern literature and historical documents, this study investigates the various political, discursive, and symbolic measures employed to negotiate and support female sovereignty by both early modern writers and the rulers themselves.- Creator

The history of British women's writing, 1610-1690
During the seventeenth century, in response to political and social upheavals such as the English Civil Wars, women produced writings in both manuscript and print. This volume, third in the Series, represents recent scholarship that has uncovered new texts as well as introduced new paradigms to further our understanding of women's literary history during this period.- Creator

The history of British women's writing, 1690-1750
Volume four of the Series 'The History of British Women's Writing' charts the most significant changes for a literary history of women in a period that saw the beginnings of a discourse of 'enlightened feminism'. It reveals that women engaged in forms old and new, seeking to shape and transform the culture of letters rather than simply reflect or respond to the work of their male contemporaries.- Creator

The lives of girls and women from the islamic world in early modern British literature and culture
This analysis of historical documents, visual records, and literary works focuses on five women: Elen More and Lucy Negro, both from Islamic West Africa: Ipolita the Tartarian, a girl acquired from Islamic Central Asia: Teresa Sampsonia, a Circassian from the Safavid Empire: and Mariam Khanim, an Armenian from the Mughal Empire. By analysing these women’s lives and their impact on the literary and cultural life of proto-colonial England, the author reveals that they are simultaneously significant constituents of the emerging Anglo-centric discourse of empire and cultural agents in their own right.- Creator
