Sobre IBD

In this book, Sharon L. Jansen explores a recurring theme in writing by women: the dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat from the world of men. These imagined women’s worlds’ may be very small, a single room even, or may be more ambitious, such as the dream of an entire country created for and inhabited exclusively by women. This insightful and accessible book places six centuries of texts in conversation with one another, pairing them in ways that explore the status of women, the desire for education, the perils of marriage, and the demands of motherhood. Here, the all-female space emerges as representative of both women’s resistance to men and their complex relationship to choice.

  • Debating Women, Politics, and Power in Early Modern Europe
    Sharon L. Jansen
    The sixteenth century was an age of politically powerful women. Queens, acting in their own right, and female regents, acting on behalf of their male relatives, governed much of Western Europe. Yet even as women ruled-and ruled effectively-their right to do so was hotly contested. Men’s voices have long dominated this debate, but the recovery of texts by women now allows their...
