The Society for the Study of Early Modern Women

The Society for the Study of Early Modern Women is an academic organization dedicated to exploring the lives, writings, and contributions of women from roughly the 15th to the 18th centuries. It promotes research, scholarship, and discussion about women’s roles in early modern history, culture, and literature. By examining primary sources and fostering scholarly collaboration, the society aims to deepen understanding of women’s experiences during this period, often overlooked in traditional history. Its work helps illuminate how women influenced social, political, and intellectual developments in early modern Europe and beyond.
