💀 A spooky surprise for Halloween: this nineteenth-century Italian memento mori turn-up book unfolds to reveal a decaying corpse; above, the figures' sumptuous clothing falls away to uncover two pairs of skeletal legs, a scythe, and a spade. 🪦

Unfortunately, Bernadette Andrea's article won't remain #OpenAccess for much longer. So if you're up for a fascinating read about women from Muslim backgrounds in early modern England, now's the time!

ALT Call for Papers for the conference "Writing the World: Early Modern Women, Natural Philosophy and Medicine", on Thursday 11th July and Friday 12th July 2024 at the University of York. How do early modern women writers think with, through and about natural philosophy and medicine in their writing? How do the genres and forms they choose to write in affect their scientific thoughts, ideas and conclusions? What is the value of fiction or literature to natural philosophy and medicine? What role does gender play in natural philosophical or medical discourse and debates? This conference seeks to explore the rich connections and interactions between natural philosophy and medicine, and early modern women’s writing across a range of genres and forms. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on women’s writing, natural philosophy, and medicine in the early modern period. Please send a title, 250 word abstract and 100 word biography to [email protected] by 21st March 2024.

How about something else from volume 40.2? @emilylsteve's article looks at the place of women as social, cultural and economic agents in 16th century London - she takes as her case study Lady Rose Lok Hickman Throckmorton, who left a diary to posterity.

Ideas of space and place were central to Anne Southwell's concept of poetic creation. In this article from our latest issue, Cassandra Gorman explores Southwell's use of imagery to write physical and astronomical encounters.

Women’s artistic education. What did it look like in early modernity? And how did it develop between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? These are important questions and Mal Haselberger sets out to explore them in our latest issue.

Seed lists were an early modern innovation that enabled the new plants flowing into Europe to be catalogued. Central within this network of knowledge was English aristocrat Mary Somerset. @olinmoctezuma examines Mary's legacy in her article in iss. 40.2.

What exactly is 'agency'? And how has women's agency figured in early modern cultural and economic history in recent decades? These are good questions! Happily, Merry Wiesner-Hanks turned herself to the task of answering them in her article in iss. 40.2 .
