Addressing a key challenge facing feminist scholars today, this
volume explores the tensions between shared gender identity and the
myriad social differences structuring women's lives. By examining
historical experiences of early modern women, the authors of these
essays consider the possibilities for commonalities and the forces
dividing women. They analyse individual and collective identities
of early modern women, tracing the web of power relations emerging
from women's social interactions and contemporary understandings of
femininity. Essays range from the late medieval period to the
eighteenth century, study women in England, France, Germany,
Ireland, Italy, and Sweden, and locate women in a variety of social
environments, from household, neighbourhood and parish, to city,
court and nation. Despite differing local contexts, the volume
highlights continuities in women's experiences and the gendering of
power relations across the early modern world. Recognizing the
critical power of gender to structure identities and experiences,
this collection responds to the challenge of the complexity of
early modern women's lives. In paying attention to the contexts in
which women identified with other women, or were seen by others to
identify, contributors add new depth to our understanding of early
modern women's senses of exclusion and belonging.
