Hendricks, Margo, and Patricia Parker, eds. Women, "Race," and Writing in the Early Modern Period. New York: Routledge, 1994.
A collection of essays investigating literary inscriptions of women and race in predominantly European contexts between the 16th and 18th centuries. The essays are grouped into four overarching themes: defining differences, male writing, female authorship, and the interrelations between European and colonial contexts. The work engages discussions in gender theory, postcolonial studies, and the studies of various European literatures.
