This book is the first comparative study of early modern English
and Dutch women writers. It explores women's rich and complex
responses to the birth of the public sphere, new concepts of
privacy, and the ideology of domesticity in the seventeenth
century. Women in both countries were briefly allowed a public
voice during times of political upheaval, but were increasingly
imagined as properly confined to the household by the end of the
century. This book compares how English and Dutch women responded
to these changes. It discusses praise of women, marriage manuals,
and attitudes to female literacy, along with female artistic and
literary expressions in the form of painting, engraving,
embroidery, print, drama, poetry, and prose, to offer a rich
account of women's contributions to debates on issues that mattered
most to them.
