Review
"Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions marshals an impressive range of source material to illuminate the early history of feminism in the North Atlantic world. The transnational framework knits together women's voices that span race, class and region. These sources are a comprehensive exploration of female experience in the age of revolutions." --Susan Branson, Syracuse University"Revolutionary in conception and content, Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions transcends narrow definitions of nation and identity to recover the voices-many not heard since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries-of the disfranchised majority of people-women and men, European and other-claiming their rights to freedom, equality and citizenship during the 'Age of Revolutions.'" --Vincent Carretta, University of Maryland"Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions provides a fascinating group of texts that force us to reconsider the origins of western feminism, the changing status of women in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the impact of revolutionary movements on women's status." --Rosemarie Zagarri, George Mason University"An important, revelatory collection...The lucid introduction lays out the theme of transatlantic feminisms and manages to be both a wonderful introduction to the field and an in-depth analysis of how the "age of revolutions" included women...Provide[s] clear notes, excellent short introductions to each piece, and a wonderful collection of images...Essential." --Choice
