Abstract
This chapter introduces the essays on early American women’s writing; it revisits and extends Sharon Harris’s powerful concept of the woman’s “self-creating act” within the contexts of liminality and hybridity. Focusing on women’s literature spanning the eighteenth century, between 1709 and 1793, Allukian presents readers with a wide range of familiar themes in women’s literature—some of which include marriage, race, girlhood, education, diary-keeping, and place—that become defamiliarized when read through the lens of liminality and hybridity.
