Reviews for Women's Writing, 1660-1830: Feminisms and Futures
“This is a brave and challenging Book. …we need to engage seriously with aesthetics and dare to make judgments, Most provocatively, she asks us to theorize and develop new methodologies appropriate to the very category of ‘woman writer.’” (Paula R.
