This collection reveals the valuable work that women achieved in
publishing, printing, writing and reading early modern English
books, from those who worked in the book trade to those who
composed, selected, collected and annotated books. Women gathered
rags for paper production, invested in books and oversaw the
presses that printed them. Their writing and reading had an impact
on their contemporaries and the developing literary canon. A focus
on women's work enables these essays to recognize the various forms
of labour -- textual and social as well as material and commercial
-- that women of different social classes engaged in. Those
considered include the very poor, the middling sort who were active
in the book trade, and the elite women authors and readers who
participated in literary communities. Taken together, these essays
convey the impressive work that women accomplished and their
frequent collaborations with others in the making, marking, and
marketing of early modern English books.
