Introduction: Modesty's charge : feminist functionalism and seventeenth-century feminist theory -- 'Now sisters-- impart your usefulnesse, and force' : Anne Bradstreet's feminist functionalism -- 'Cuerpo luminoso' : body and soul in sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's Primero sueño -- 'I doe not thinke the body that dyes shall rise agayne' : Anne Hutchinson's mortalism as feminist functionalism -- Femmes fortes : mysticism and the female apostolate of Marie de l'Incarnation.

Summary: Inventive in its approach, this study offers fresh readings of the arguments and practices of four seventeenth-century Euro-American women: Anne Bradstreet, Anne Hutchinson, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and Marie de l'Incarnation. Tamara Harvey offers a new way to think of corporeality as a device in literary and religious expressions of modesty by women, and explores how these women engaged in ongoing religious, political, scientific and social debates of the time.
