Women on the Margins: Three Seventeenth-Century Lives

"Natalie Zemon Davis, one of the most inspired historians of early modern France, has pushed out the usual borders of female blazons by choosing three women who weren't muses, mistresses, or martyrs...Davis has chosen three personalities of singular gifts and appetite for self-transformation, and the strength of character to achieve it. Their stories don't overlap much; the selection arises from the intrinsic interest of their remarkable lives.. 'Women on the Margin' is short, densely researched, and closely argued."Davis, Natalie Zemon is the author of 'Women on the Margins: Three Seventeenth-Century Lives', published 1997 under ISBN 9780674955219 and ISBN 0674955218.
