Writings of a Well-Learned Gentlewoman

"At the age of nineteen, Margaret More Roper (1505-1544), eldest daughter and confidante of Sir Thomas More, was the first early modern woman writer in Tudor England and the first nonroyal woman to have a book printed in the English language. This Other Voice edition recognizes her as a notable historical figure and one of the most learned women of her time. It publishes all of Roper's extant writings in a modernized spelling format, including carefully annotated texts, an appendix, a glossary, and current bibliography of studies about her"-
