Summary
The question of how the transformations of the early modern era changed – or did not change – the lives of women has become a familiar question for historians. Joan Kelly’s pathbreaking “Did Women Have a Renaissance?” challenged scholars to interrogate the impact of watershed moments, like the Renaissance, and to resist assuming that women necessarily benefited from them.1
