This volume has been prepared in the context of the NEWW collaboration. It has been presented 26 May during a meeting of the network in Turku (Finland). The papers collected here address early modern female authorship from the late Middle Ages to the end of the eighteenth century, ranging geographically from Portugal to Russia, and from Italy to Denmark. In particular, they focus on three themes: the creation of female spaces or communities; women’s appropriation of existing or developing literary genres; and transnational perspectives on early modern women’s writings.
