Agency within subjugation? • “… in practice, a woman might (and these women all did) find some competition among the several authorities claiming her duty – her own family, her husband, her king, her religion – as well as conflicts between her own desire and obedience to all of these. This sets up, as Karl Weintraub phrases it, a destabilizing competition among compelling cultural forms; when the patriarchs do not line up neatly in support of each other, women must choose, and their struggles to do so may serve as a catalyst for selfdefinition, resistance, and writing.” - Barbara Kiefer Lewalski, “Writing Women and Reading the Renaissance.” Renaissance Quarterly 44, no. 4 (1991): 792 – 821.
Key points • Marginalisation has a history that we can study: it is not a timeless or universal given. • Asking questions about marginalised groups has big implications for the way we understand the Renaissance as a whole.
