The texts available here in English for the first time open a window into the lives of threeearly modern Frenchwomen as they explore the common themes of family, memory, sin, andsalvation. The Regrets of Marguerite d'Auge (1600), the Memoirs of Renée Burlamacchi(1623), and the Genealogy of Jeanne du Laurens (1631), taken from different genres ofhistorical writings, raise important questions: Why and how did female authorship find itsway into the historical record? How did these voices escape the censorship and prejudiceagainst female publication? In a time of extreme religious conflict, how did these womenconvey their views on controversial issues such as primacy of grace, indulgences, andsalvation without disrupting the gender expectations of the era?
