Women in the Early Modern World, 1500-1800 is a World History Commons long teaching module which includes an informational essay, lesson plans, twelve primary source documents, activities, discussion questions, and a document-based essay that engages with the sources. This module reveals that despite contemporary views and restrictions, an increasing vocal female presence in literature and art marked the Early Modern era, as well as the advent of new opportunities for women to claim, in an age of contact and acculturation, crucial roles in the evangelization and “civilizing” of the world around them.
