Summary: a Must-Read for students of Renaissance and Women studies
Comment: In one of the most seminal book in the growing scholarship of women writers of the English Renaissance, Beilin argues for the success of a plethora of women writers in playing the role of Eves in their literary production so as to gain a respectable space for authorship that was monopolized by male culture and rules. It is mainly through the culturally endorsed metaphor of "the redeeming eve" that women writers such as Mary Sidney, Elizabeth Cary, Mary wroth, to name but few, were given a literary and creative space. The importance of this book lies in Beilin's insistence on women's acceptance to integrate into the patriarchal culture through writing what was acceptable, an acceptance that, though, seems consolidatory of the patriarchal culture, was, indeed, subversive and, even, revolutionary.
