Co-Honorable Mention for the 2021 Book Award by the Society for the
Study of Early Modern Women and Gender (SSEMWG) In Heroines,
Harpies, and Housewives, Martha Moffitt Peacock provides a novel
interpretive approach to the artistic practice of Imaging Women of
Consequence in the Dutch Golden Age. From the beginnings of the new
Republic, visual celebrations of famous heroines who crossed gender
boundaries by fighting in the Revolt against Spain or by
distinguishing themselves in arts and letters became an essential
and significant cultural tradition that reverberated throughout the
long seventeenth century. This collective memory of consequential
heroines who equaled, or outshone, men is frequently reflected in
empowering representations of other female archetypes:
authoritative harpies and noble housewives. Such enabling imagery
helped in the structuring of gender norms that positively advanced
a powerful female identity in Dutch society.
