Maids and Mistresses, Cousins and Queens: Women's Alliances in Early Modern EnglandSusan Frye, Karen Robertson Oxford University Press, 1999 - 350页 This collection of sixteen essays considers evidence for the varied forms of women's alliances in early modern England. Women, who were prohibited from direct participation in the institutional structures that shaped the lives of men, constructed informal connections with other women for survival, advancement, and creativity. The essays presented here consider a variety of communities--formed among groups as diverse as serving women, vagrants, aristocrats, and authors--in order to consider the historical traces of women's connections. |
