Shakespeare's Sisters: Voices of English and European Women Writers, 1500–1700
February 3–May 20, 2012
10am–5pm Monday–Saturday
12pm–5pm Sunday
Folger Great Hall
Curators: Georgianna Ziegler
Virginia Woolf famously evoked Shakespeare’s sister in A Room of One’s Own as she tried to imagine the difficulties women writers faced during the early modern period. In fact, Woolf was not aware of how many women actually were writing during that time, because many of their works were never published, and those that were, lay in relative critical neglect. This exhibition explores those women who were, in fact, writing during Shakespeare's time. It reimagines the “conversations” of these early women writers: with each other as members of families or groups; with the Bible; with spiritual and secular ideas; and with male writers of the time.
Special Sunday viewing hours from noon to 5pm.
