This groundbreaking study of girlhood and cognition argues that
early moderns depicted female puberty as a transformative event
that activated girls' brains in dynamic ways. Mining a variety of
genres from Shakespearean plays and medical texts to
autobiographical writings, Caroline Bicks shows how 'the change of
fourteen years' seemed to gift girls with the ability to invent,
judge, and remember what others could or would not. Bicks
challenges the presumption that early moderns viewed all female
cognition as passive or pathological, demonstrating instead that
girls' changing adolescent brains were lightning rods for some of
the period's most vital debates about the body and soul, faith and
salvation, science and nature, and the place and agency of human
perception in the midst of it all.
