'Women and Authorship provides important ways of re-conceiving key concepts in early American women's writing, including authorship, separate spheres, and the construction of literary history. Engagingly written and highly informative, it also models a new way of writing such history.' Susan S. Williams, author of Reclaiming Authorship: Literary Women in America, 1850-1900 'This refreshingly concise volume traces an alternative history in the development of American women's writing... Highly recommended.' Choice 'The book is particularly useful in its consideration of a variety of genres such as popular religious tracts, histories, and compendia, and of little known authors... It will [...] create interest and debate among American eighteenth-century scholars.' The Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer
