Announcing a New Series from Ashgate!
WOMEN AND GENDER IN THE EARLY MODERN WORLD
Series Editors: Allyson M. Poska, Mary Washington
College, and Abby
Zanger, Harvard University
In the past decade, the study of women and gender has
offered some of
the most vital and innovative challenges to scholarship
on the early
modern period. Ashgate's new series of
interdisciplinary and
comparative studies, "Women and Gender in the Early
Modern World," takes
up this challenge, reaching beyond geographical
limitations to explore
the experiences of early modern women and the nature of
gender in
Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
Submissions of single-author
studies and edited collections will be considered.
Proposals should take the form of either
-- a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing
the project; or
-- a formal prospectus including: abstract, table
of contents, sample
chapter (other than the introduction), estimate of
length, estimate of
the number and type of illustrations to be included, and
a c.v.
Please send three copies of either type of proposal (one
to each of the
series editors and one to the publisher) to the
