      A study of women writers in the late Elizabethan period. Until the early 1980s it was generally assumed that women did not write any books during the Renaissance. Virginia Woolf wondered why "no woman wrote a word of extraordinary literature when every other man, it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet". The women discussed in this book "did" write some of that "extraordinary literature". Ignoring Renaissance society's injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, they wrote poetry, drama and romantic fiction. They even voiced opposition to certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Yet, as this study suggests, what these authors finally say depended greatly on the fact that they were women writing in a culture inimical to female creative activity. This work shows how gender ideology intertwined with economics and social class, as well as with literary and linguistic conventions, to shape women's writing of the period.
