FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- ---- From: Philosophy News Service * richard jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ashgate Publishing Company is committed to expanding its interdisciplinary publishing program in the area of women's and gender studies. The focus of the list is on the history of women and gender in Britain and Europe from the early Middle Ages through the 19th century; we are also interested in comparative studies that embrace a wider geographic scope. We welcome book proposals that fall within these general guidelines. As we build upon our distinguished list in women and gender studies, the advice and feedback of the scholars who work in this field is indispensable. Please contact Erika Gaffney (see below) if -- you wish to submit a proposal -- you would be willing to act as an expert reader (please list your areas of specialization) -- you have suggestions about what kinds of books and series are most needed in this area Publishing with Ashgate: As an independent academic publisher, Ashgate offers authors effective worldwide marketing and distribution through our offices in the US, the UK, Singapore and Australia. Our experienced editorial and marketing staff are easily accessible to give authors advice and assistance at all stages of a book's production. Current Ashgate series on women and gender: With the facsimile library "The Early Modern Englishwoman: Printed Writings 1500-1700" and the new monograph series "Women and Gender in Early Modern England, 1500-1750" (both edited by Betty S. Travitsky and Patrick Cullen), Ashgate is already recognized as a publisher of high quality books in this field. "The Early Modern Englishwoman: Printed Writings 1500-1640, Part 1" has been well received in the scholarly community. Renaissance Quarterly declares that the volumes "… bear witness to the excitement, energy, and careful labor that has been devoted to the resurrection of these works by early modern women … [and] represent an astonishing alteration of the field of early modern studies." "Women and Gender in Early Modern England, 1500-1750" features single- and multi-author volumes as well as bibliographies, anthologies and modern editions. This interdisciplinary series captures the energy of the many scholars engaged in the field of women's and gender studies in the early modern period and acts as both a continuation and a spur to the movement. Proposals for additions to either of these two series must be submitted to the series editors; please apply to Erika Gaffney for further details, or look under "series descriptions" in the author services section of Ashgate's web site.
