Legacy: A Journal of American Women Writers
Legacy, A Journal of American Women Writers, is the only scholarly journal to focus specifically on American women's writings from the 17th through the mid-20th century.
Each issue's articles cover a wide range of topics: examinations of the works of individual authors; genre studies; analyses of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexualities in women's literature; and historical and material cultural issues pertinent to women's lives and literary works. In addition, Legacy regularly publishes profiles of lesser-known or newly recovered authors, reprints of primary works in all genres, and book reviews covering current scholarship in the field.
Legacy is published twice a year by the University of Nebraska Press and is available online through Project MUSE or through university electronic journal websites.
