N.N.W. Akkerman Invisible agents
women and espionage in seventeenth-century Britain
In this study Akkeman analyses the role of early modern women spies, demonstrating that the allegedly-male world of the spy was more than merely infiltrated by women. This contribution to the history of espionage details a series of case studies in which women, from playwright to postmistress, from lady-in-waiting to laundry woman, acted as spies, sourcing and passing on confidential information on account of political and religious convictions or to obtain money or power.

Stephanie M. Hilger Women write back
strategies of response and the dynamics of European literary culture, 1790-1805
This book explores the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century women’s responses to texts written by well-known Enlightment figures. Hilger investigates the authorial strategies employed by Karoline von Günderrode, Ellis Cornelia Knight, Julie de Krüdener, and Helen Maria Williams, whose works engage Voltaire’s Mahomet, Johnson’s Rasselas, Goethe’s Werther, and Rousseau’s Julie. The analysis of these women’s texts sheds light on the literary culture of a period that deemed itself not only...

Deirdre Jackson Medieval women
Our understanding of the lives and roles of medieval women has changed dramatically in recent years. Far from being background characters of the middle ages, women often wielded an influence beyond their expected station. Many women fortunate enough to receive an education became patrons of literature, particularly secular tales of adventure and romance. Some bold pioneers became writers themselves. Others commissioned, or had dedicated to them, the earliest historical chronicles, bestiaries, and...
