full name / name of organization: 
Jennifer K Higginbotham

Proposed Panel: Renaissance Girls
Renaissance Society of America Conference
San Francisco, March 23-26, 2006

We are looking for one paper that addresses the topic of Renaissance
girls for a proposed panel at the 2006 Renaissance Society of America
Conference. Proposals are welcome from all disciplines and need not be
limited to England.

The panel aims to bring together the emerging field of Girls Studies with
the burgeoning scholary interest in Renaissance childhood. What was the
place of female children in Renaissance culture and society? How were
they represented in literature, drama, and art? And how did girlhood
compare to boyhood?

By May 19, 2005, please e-mail abstracts of no more than 250 words and a
brief CV to Jennifer Higginbotham (higginbj_at_english.upenn.edu).

Participants must be RSA members or pay membership if panel is accepted.
