Book Synopsis
Like the history of women, dance has been difficult to capture as a historical subject. This volume sheds light on women's roles as performers of dance, choreographers, shapers of aesthetic trends, and patrons of dance in Italy, France, England, and Germany before 1800.

Trade Review
A fascinating collection that illuminates women's early work in dance with fresh information and keen insights. - Sandra Noll Hammond, professor emerita and director of dance, University of Hawai'i ""Women's Work is a welcome addition to the sparse body of scholarly work that concentrates on dance practices and the accomplishments of women before 1800. But this intriguing volume is also replete with thought-provoking discussions that resonate far beyond its early dance time frame, probing issues that are well worthy of discussion within the larger framework of dance history."" - Elizabeth Aldrich
