Reading early modern women's writing

Most people, even within the area of English literature, are unaware of how much writing women produced in the 16th and 17th centuries. This book offers an outline of that writing, and also looks at how it was read and reproduced through succeeding centuries.

First sentence: The title of this introduction pays tribute to Denise Riley's important book Am I That Name?-a book in which she interrogates the category of women in history.
