To: 	EARAM-L at LISTSERV.KENT.EDU



Members of this list may be interested in the most recent issue of 
/Legacy: A Journal of American Women Writers/ (Vol. 28, No. 2 (2011)), a 
special issue, "Women and Early America," which (self-promotion alert) I 
have guest edited. The articles reframe early American women within 
hemispheric and transoceanic contexts and with attention to a range of 
neglected archives.The issue also includes two primary texts of 
interest: a letter from Doña Inés Muñóz de Ribera requesting restitution 
of her /encomienda/, the Indian labor that sustained her wealth and 
status, and the declaration of Debora Proctor, a mother's unusual 
attempt to circumvent legal procedures that limited her ability to bring 
formal charges against her daughter's alleged rapist.
