Michelle M. Dowd is Assistant Professor of English at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, USA. Julie A. Eckerle is Assistant Professor of English, University of Minnesota, Morris, USA'...makes an important contribution to the study of early modern women by its distinctive focus on generic innovation, women’s life writings, and the construction of the female self. The historicist approach of the volume is original and compelling, and the essays make a major contribution to gender studies by demonstrating how women’s identities are formed in rich and complex texts and contexts. The volume is not only theoretically astute, but meticulous throughout in its use of primary and secondary sources.' Laura Knoppers, Penn State University, USA ’... this is indeed a useful collection that expands our understanding both of literary genres and of women's rhetorical self presentations in the early modern period.’ Renaissance Quarterly
