Subject/Object and Beyond Reviews

The field of studying early modern women/writers is an incredibly vibrant, rich, and complex one, with really exciting things happening on many fronts." -- Nora Peterson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
une contribution substantielle aux etudes sur les femmes de la premiere modernite. -- Luc Vaillancourt, Universite de Quebec a Chicoutimi
