Most original here is her focus on the acoustics of women's speech and its embodied physicality. -Deborah Willis, Renaissance Quarterly -- Deborah Willis Renaissance Quarterly Stavreva's book furthers the work of many feminist scholars, contributes to women's history, and advances our understanding of the early modern culture in its textual, sonic, and even physical manifestations. -Anna Riehl Bertolet, author of The Face of Queenship: Early Modern Representations of Queen Elizabeth I -- Anna Riehl Bertolet
