Her Own Life

TRAMA

Her Own Life gathers the writings of twelve English women from the tumultuous seventeenth century. Ranging from a shipwright's daughter to a duchess, with writing styles varying from diary and prophecy to lyric poetry, these extracts uncover an ignored and forgotten history, a history written by and about women.

NOTE EDITORE

During a period when writing was often the only form of self-expression for women, Her Own Life contains extracts from the autobiographical texts of twelve seventeenth-century women addressing a wide range of issues central to their lives.
