Diana Robin
Publishing Women: Salons, the Presses, and the Counter-Reformation in Sixteenth-Century Italy
"Vivid and compelling. Diana Robin traces and links the lives and writings of a large cast of characters—women writers, their publishers, the political leaders and popes with whom they were embroiled—in a tour de force of sustained narrative into which extensive and illuminating passages of text are skillfully woven."—Dale Kent, University of California, Riverside
Gina A. Ulysse
Downtown Ladies: Informal Commercial Importers, a Haitian Anthropologist and Self-Making in Jamaica
"In this remarkable, sensitive, and gutsy ethnography of informal commercial importers in urban Jamaica, Haitian American anthropologist Gina Ulysse opens our eyes to the lives of enterprising women who draw on all their resourcefulness to make it in a hostile global economy, and in the process remake markets, their own identities, and the ethnographic relationship."—Mimi Sheller, author of Consuming the Caribbean
María de Guevara
Warnings to the Kings and Advice on Restoring Spain: A Bilingual Edition
This annotated bilingual edition reproduces the polemics of de Guevara (?“1683) for the first time and includes two extraordinary essays that appealed for strong leadership, protested political corruption, and demanded the inclusion of women in the court’s decision making. Witty, ironic, and rhetorically sophisticated, Guevara’s essays provide a fresh perspective on the possibilities for women in the public sphere in seventeenth-century Spain
Joan Wallach Scott
Parité!: Sexual Equality and the Crisis of French Universalism
"A fascinating and original discussion of the new direction taken by French feminism in the 1990s: the mouvement pour la parité, which demanded that elected offices be filled by men and women in equal numbers. Scott traces the intellectual genesis of the movement, its gaining of strength, its complex interaction with the rights of same-sex couples, and finally its partial success. Intensely thought-provoking, Parité! will be of enormous interest to anyone interested in modern European politics and history, or in feminism."—David A. Bell, The Johns Hopkins University
Amy Leonard
Nails in the Wall: Catholic Nuns in Reformation Germany
"Nails in the Wall challenges both theoretical assumptions and assertions of fact about the Protestant Reformation, exploring the active intervention of nuns in the process of religious change. It presents a sophisticated and nuanced reading of the complexities of urban culture in a time of dramatic change."—Merry Wiesner-Hanks, author of Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe
