Dear Andrea,

I have access to this journal through the library I work in. I'll look the
article up.

> There is mention of an article here:

> which is titled "Shouting down Abraham:

> "Huguenot women writers during the
> 16th century Calvinism period have often
> been disregarded by Huguenot male
> authors. Women were only identified
> with household works and their capabilities
> for writing were often overlooked. However,
> these women writers were able to make
> their voices heard as male writers faced
> certain obstacles to self-expression.
> Although few in number and troubled by
> gender roles and scriptually-mandated
> status, Huguenot women's works were
> still able to influence literature by
> describing a new relationship with the
> scripture."

> The frustrating thing is that this website
