Rezensionen

"This engaging collection successfully problematizes and confounds simplistic assumptions regarding the early phases of female existence in early modern Western society. (...) The Youth of Early Modern Women provides a wide range of thought-provoking essays that will, one hopes, inspire similarly creative and innovative research in this field."
- Alison Williams Lewin, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume LXXIII, No. 2
