Series: Women and Gender in the Early Modern World

Inventive in its approach and provocative in its analysis, this
study offers fresh readings of the arguments and practices of four
seventeenth-century Euro-American women: Anne Bradstreet, Anne
Hutchinson, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and Marie de l'Incarnation.
Tamara Harvey here compares functionalist treatments of the body by
these women, offering a new way to think of corporeality as a
device in literary and religious expressions of modesty by women.
In doing so, Harvey explores the engagement of these women in
ongoing religious, political, scientific and social debates that
would have been understood by the authors' contemporaries in both
Europe and America.
