'Women, Space, and Utopia, 1600-1800 is a superbly researched, compelling account of the ways ideas about architecture, planning, and geography simultaneously influenced the construction of gender and stimulated the utopian imagination in a period engrossed with social norms and reforms. A fascinating, ambitious, and original study.' Alessa Johns, Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Davis and author of Women's Utopias of the Eighteenth Century 'The book takes a fresh and innovative approach to a well-traversed topic... the book is an original and stimulating reading of a hitherto-ignored generic aspect of women's writing.'
