Women on the Edge in Early Modern Europe examines the lives of
women whose gender impeded the exercise of their personal,
political, and religious agency, with an emphasis on the conflict
that occurred when they crossed the edges society placed on their
gender. Many of the women featured in this collection have only
been afforded cursory scholarly focus, or the focus has been
isolated to a specific, (in)famous event. This collection redresses
this imbalance by providing comprehensive discussions of the
women's lives, placing the matter that makes them known to history
within the context of their entire life. Focusing on women from
different backgrounds -- such as Marie Meurdrac, the French
chemist; Anna Trapnel, the Fifth Monarchist and prophetess; and
Cecilia of Sweden, princess, margravine, countess, and regent --
this collection brings together a wide range of scholars from a
variety of disciplines to bring attention to these previously
overlooked women.
