Harvard University Press

As she did in The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis here retrieves individual lives from historical obscurity to give us a window onto the early modern world. As women living in the seventeenth century, Glikl bas Judah Leib, Marie de l\u2019Incarnation, and Maria Sibylla Merian, equally remarkable though very different, were not queens or noblewomen, their every move publicly noted. Rather, they were living \u201Con the margins\u201D in seventeenth-century Europe, North America, and South America. Yet these women\u2014one Jewish, one Catholic, one Protestant\u2014left behind memoirs and writings that make for a spellbinding tale and that, in Davis\u2019 deft narrative, tell us more about the life of early modern Europe than many an official history.\nAll these women were originally city folk.
