Women in the Eighteenth Century by Vivien Jones

Women in the Eighteenth Century by Vivien Jones

Complementing the current upsurge in feminist writing on the eighteenth century, and giving students the chance to make their own re-readings of texts, this anthology gathers together a range of material from conduct manuals to medical texts.

`.. until now there has been little chance for non-specialists to engage with the full breadth of political, medical, educational, and other work about women. Vivien Jones's anthology fills the gap admirably, bringing together well-chosen extracts from a variety of sources.' - Journal of Gender Studies

`John Ayto's The Glutton's Glossary takes the palm...entertaining and recondite information about food and drink terms.'

'This is both a useful and an enlightening anthology.`
