This volume brings together an unprecedented gathering of women and men from the Atlantic World during the Age of Revolutions. Featuring hard-to-find writings from colonists and colonized, citizens and slaves, religious visionaries and scandal-dogged actresses, these wide-ranging selections present a panorama of the diverse, vibrant world facing women during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. An expansive introduction, along with rich contextual headnotes, makes this an indispensable text for students and scholars of literature, history, and women's and gender studies. With writings from figures like Aphra Behn, Phillis Wheatley, Thomas Jefferson, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Toussaint L'Ouverture, to name just a few, Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions recovers the revolutionary moment in which women stepped into a globalizing world and imagined themselves free.

This volume restores a lost chapter in the history of feminism and illuminates the complexity of the rights debates of the 18th century. As the English language followed the routes of trade and colonialism to become the lingua franca of much of the Atlantic world, women wrote about their experiences. This book puts 18th century voices in conversation with one another - English, Scots and Irish women; colonists and indigenous women; Loyalists and Patriots; religious leaders and scandal-dogged actresses; slaves and free women of colour

A collection of eighteenth-century poems, fiction, political pamphlets, letters, petitions and other writings, Transatlantic Feminisms in the Age of Revolutions recovers a revolutionary moment in world history in which women stepped into a globalizing world and imagined themselves free.
