Dr. Poska is co-editor of newly published The Ashgate Research Companion to Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe (Ashgate 2013) together with Jane Couchman (York University) and Katherine A. McIver (University of Alabama).
Book description:
This Ashgate Research Companion presents an authoritative review of the current research on women and gender in early modern Europe from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The authors examine women’s lives, ideologies of gender, and the differences between ideology and reality through the recent research across many disciplines, including history, literary studies, art history, musicology, history of science and medicine, and religious studies.
