Examining women's agency in the past has taken on new urgency in
the current moment of resurgent patriarchy, Women's Marches, and
the global #MeToo movement. The essays in this collection consider
women's agency in the Renaissance and early modern period, an era
that also saw both increasing patriarchal constraints and new forms
of women's actions and activism. They address a capacious set of
questions about how women, from their teenage years through older
adulthood, asserted agency through social practices, speech acts,
legal disputes, writing, viewing and exchanging images, travel, and
community building. Despite family and social pressures, the
actions of girls and women could shape their lives and challenge
male-dominated institutions. This volume includes thirteen essays
by scholars from various disciplines, which analyze people, texts,
objects, and images from many different parts of Europe, as well as
things and people that crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific.
