Opis

This anthology presents extracts from a wide variety of 17th-century sources illustrating the ways in which the cultural notion of woman was then constructed. Although the dominant ideology was unquestionably patriarchal, and many of its manifestations were misogynistic, it was also diverse, self-questioning, contradictory, and committed to living.
