The subjects of the book include not only such familiar figures as Sor Juana and Santa Teresa de JesA s, but also of less well known women of their time. The author uses primary documents, published works, artwork, and critical sources drawn from history, literature, theatre, philosophy, women's studies, education and science. Her analysis juxtaposes theories espoused by men and women of the period concerning the aptitude and appropriateness of educating women with the actual practices to be found in convents, schools, court, theaters and homes. What emerges is a fuller picture of women's learning in the early modern period.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477841113361,"sku":"NLS9780754660330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035276337425,"sku":"NIN9780754660330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780754660330.jpg?v=1759846265"},{"product_id":"autobiographical-writing-by-early-modern-hispanic-women-book-elizabeth-teresa-howe-9781472435774","title":"Autobiographical Writing by Early Modern Hispanic Women","description":"Women's life writing in general has too often been ignored, dismissed, or relegated to a separate category in those few studies of the genre that include it. The present work addresses these issues and offers a countervailing argument that focuses on the contributions of women writers to the study of autobiography in Spanish during the early modern period. There are, indeed, examples of autobiographical writing by women in Spain and its New World empire, evident as early as the fourteenth-century Memorias penned by DoAa Leonor LA3pez de CordA3ba and continuing through the seventeenth-century Cartas of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. What sets these accounts apart, the author shows, are the variety of forms adopted by each woman to tell her life and the circumstances in which she adapts her narrative to satisfy the presence of male critics-whether ecclesiastic or political, actual or imagined-who would dismiss or even alter her life story. Analyzing how each of these women viewed her life and, conversely, how their contemporaries-both male and female-received and sometimes edited her account, Howe reveals the tension in the texts between telling a 'life' and telling a 'lie'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52653761724689,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52653762019601,"sku":"NLS9781472435774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781472435774.jpg?v=1762212339"},{"product_id":"autobiographical-writing-by-early-modern-hispanic-women-book-elizabeth-teresa-howe-9781138379992","title":"Autobiographical Writing by Early Modern Hispanic Women","description":"Women's life writing in general has too often been ignored, dismissed, or relegated to a separate category in those few studies of the genre that include it.
