Women Telling Nations 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, we examine how
women belonged to nations: they represented territories and
political or religious communities in their own style. Second, we
deal 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 we analyse how and why women were open to the outside
world, beyond the country's borders. Women Telling Nations
underlines the quantitative importance of the circulation of these
women's writings and demonstrates the extent as well as the impact
of the international cross-fertilisation of nations, especially by
and for women: focusing on routes rather than roots.
