Women's Invisible Ink: Trans-Genre Writing and the Gendering of Intellectual Value in Early Modernity

Project description

Rescuing the intellectual value of women’s ideas in texts from the past

The recovery of early modern literature has unearthed extraordinary works, most of which have come from male writers. This is because a lot of women’s writings from the 16th to 18th centuries have either been ignored, neglected or unrecorded. The EU-funded WINK project aims to change this and modify the single-gender paradigm of intellectual value. To do this, the project will locate, identify and examine the neglected women’s production in early European modernity and provide a model for the intellectual recovery of their work in several languages.
