Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions cover

Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions restores a lost chapter in the history of feminism and illuminates the complexity of the rights debates of the eighteenth century. As the English language followed the routes of trade and colonialism to become the lingua franca of much of the Atlantic world, women who experienced dispossession and violence on the one hand, and new freedoms and opportunities on the other, wrote about their experiences. English, Scots and Irish women; colonists and indigenous women; Loyalists and Patriots; religious leaders and scandal-dogged actresses; slaves and free women of color-this anthology puts all these eighteenth-century voices in conversation with one another in an unprecedented archive of primary sources that will become indispensable to students and scholars of the eighteenth century in English, history, and women's and gender studies.

Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions succeeds in being both coherent and expansive in aim, scope and achievement ... This original and innovative anthology will transform the ways in which scholars and students understand and locate female experience in this period of history * Sarah Prescott, Times Literary Supplement *
