The sixteenth century was an age of politically powerful women.
Queens, acting in their own right, and female regents, acting on
behalf of their male relatives, governed much of Western Europe.
Yet even as women ruled - and ruled effectively - their right to do
so was hotly contested. Men s voices have long dominated this
debate, but the recovery of texts by women now allows their voices,
long silenced, to be heard once again. Debating Women, Politics,
and Power in Early Modern Europe is a study of texts and textual
production in the construction of gender, society, and politics in
the early modern period. Jansen explores the "gynecocracy" debate
and the larger humanist response to the challenge posed by female
sovereignty.
