Female Printmakers, Printsellers, and Print Publishers in the Eighteenth Century - Hardcover

An edited collection that recovers women's overlooked contributions to eighteenth-century print culture and intellectual life.

Female Printmakers, Printsellers, and Print Publishers in the Eighteenth Century examines the women who shaped the intellectual landscape of their era through control of the printing presses. This is not a "women in history" add-on, but a reckoning with who actually controlled the production of books and ideas.

Scholars of literary history, book history, and gender studies rely on this work. It changes how you read any eighteenth-century text when you realize which women made its circulation possible.
