The sixteen essays in this collection describe acts of bravery, protest, and survival expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter, diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental novel, and autobiography. The concluding essay examines theories of anthology selection, the ways women's writings have been variously included and excluded, and the implications for the study of literature of the early Americas. Throughout, the focus is on the female body and the ways it figures as a site of contestation in emerging empires. The volume thus speaks to a range of female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the Viking exploration to the early nineteenth century United States. 650 0 $a American prose literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100758 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101053 650 0 $a American prose literature $y Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $v Biography $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Intellectual life $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Women in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147587 650 0 $a Politics in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85104473 650 0 $a Nationalism in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85090160 650 0 $a Social problems in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123990 650 7 $a American literature $x Minority authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807213 650 7 $a American prose literature $x Colonial period. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01711009 650 7 $a American prose literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807437 650 7 $a Nationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033899 650 7 $a Politics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896084 650 7 $a Social problems in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122806 650 7 $a Women authors, American $x Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177212 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 650 7 $a Women $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176814 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1600 - 1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 $a Balkun, Mary McAleer, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95084142 700 1 $a Imbarrato, Susan Clair, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97117315 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126063217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B90B24E026811E89DEE1C1997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
