The essays in this collection examine the connections between the
forces of empire and women's lives in the early Americas, in
particular the ways their narratives contributed to empire
formation. Focusing on the female body as a site of contestation,
the essays describe acts of bravery, subversion, and survival
expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter,
diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental
novel, and autobiography. The volume also speaks to a range of
female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the
Viking exploration to early nineteenth-century United States,
challenging scholars to reflect on the implications of early
American literature even to the present day.
