Women, who were prohibited from direct participation in the institutional structures that shaped the lives of men, constructed informal connections with other women for survival, advancement, and creativity. The essays presented here consider a variety of communities--formed among groups as diverse as serving women, vagrants, aristocrats, and authors--in order to consider the historical traces of women's connections. 606 $aWomen$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aWomen$xSocial networks$zEngland 606 $aFemale friendship$zEngland 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland 606 $aWomen in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial networks 615 0$aFemale friendship 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a305.4/0942 702 $aFrye$b Susan$f1952- 702 $aRobertson$b Karen$f1947- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458255503321 996 $aMaids and mistresses, cousins and queens$92467490 997 $aUNINA
