- Twelve essays by various hands that stand "at the intersection of Anglo-American empirical historicism and French theories of textuality." Historical women were real in ways that are absent from writings. Essays are grouped under three headings: "Exchanging Women: Male Texts and Homosocial Contexts"; "Informing Women: Medieval, Early Modern, and Postmodern; "Writing Woman/Reading Women: Historical Women and the Masculine Production of Meaning."
