Hello -- As part of the thread about honouring Huguenot/Walloon women, I wanted to draw attention to something I found while trawling the web recently. There is mention of an article here: http://www.highbeam.com/library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:19793517&refid=holomed_1 which is titled "Shouting down Abraham: how sixteenth century Huguenot Women found their voice". The article was originally published in 1997 in Rennaissance Quarterly which I'm assuming is a journal or magazine of some kind. Here is what it says on the website about this article (or perhaps it's an excerpt from the article itself?): "Huguenot women writers during the 16th century Calvinism period have often been disregarded by Huguenot male authors. Women were only identified with household works and their capabilities for writing were often overlooked. However, these women writers were able to make their voices heard as male writers faced certain obstacles to self-expression. Although few in number and troubled by gender roles and scriptually-mandated status, Huguenot women's works were still able to influence literature by describing a new relationship with the scripture." The frustrating thing is that this website does not allow access to the full article unless one is willing to give a credit card number (even for the seven-day free trial offer). Which I was not willing to do. So I have no idea who these women might have been. Does anyone out there know? If so, please post to the list about it. I think everyone will agree that this would be a perfect time to acknowledge these Huguenot women writers. Regards, Andrea
