Zusammenfassung:
This volume restores a lost chapter in the history of feminism and illuminates the complexity of the rights debates of the 18th century. As the English language followed the routes of trade and colonialism to become the lingua franca of much of the Atlantic world, women wrote about their experiences. This book puts 18th century voices in conversation with one another - English, Scots and Irish women; colonists and indigenous women; Loyalists and Patriots; religious leaders and scandal-dogged actresses; slaves and free women of colour.
