Most anthologies of Renaissance writing comprise merely (or predominantly) male writers, while those who specialise in girls comprise ladies completely. This publication is the 1st to survey either in an built-in type. Its texts include quite a lot of canonical and non-canonical writing -- together with a few new and critical discoveries. The texts are prepared in order that writing by way of men and women is gifted jointly, no longer in a "point-counterpoint" method that will "square off" male and female writers opposed to each other, yet quite in pairs, occasionally clusters, of texts during which women's writing is foregrounded whilst apparently with writing by way of men.
The anthology arranges lately recovered texts into interesting styles, juxtaposing, for instance, Aemelia Lanyer's state condo poem with an expression of a special kind of nostalgia by way of Surrey. It comprises unconventional voices, as within the homoerotic poems through Richard Barnfield or the potentially lesbian poems through Katherine Philips. It makes newly on hand the voices of English Marrano ladies (secret Jews) and the Miltonic poetry of Jean Lead.

The Construction of Gender Identity Meanwhile, the analytical distinction between biological sex and socially constructed gender has itself come under fire. Although this distinction was useful in combating pervasive biological determinisms, it was the result of an uncritical acceptance of the nature/culture dichotomy of Western philosophy (Harding 1986; Haraway 1991; Bailey 1993). It is important to recognize that nature is itself a man-made category (using both senses of the word man) and that science, including biology, is of necessity a cultural activity, with its own cultural history.
On the other hand, the symbolic gender order does inform practice, and our subjectivities are produced in relation to it, so to dismiss it as performing only an ideological or propagandistic role is also too simplistic. The power of gendered dichotomies and the way in which strategies of masculinization and feminization work to promote inequalities between the sexes can be seen clearly in the gendered division of labor. “Masculine” and “feminine” traits and qualities have been used not only to support the division between paid employment and unpaid domestic work, but also to structure the segregation of employment into predominantly male and female occupations or grades within an occupation.
Scientific stories have too much power as public myth to effect meanings in our lives. Besides, scientific stories are interesting” (Haraway 1991, 107). Recently, feminists have begun to argue that, just as nature is a social category with a history of discursive construction, so are sex, gender, and even the body itself. 14 Categorization inevitably proceeds through a process of exclusion, so that the norm is established by defining what it is not, what is Other. 15 Our bodies are disciplined and normalized by the biopolitics of categorization, normalization, and surveillance (Foucault 1980; Ramazonoglu 1993).
