Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal @emwjournal.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

We hope that lots of you will consider submitting a piece for our upcoming forum on early modern women and generations #EarlyModern

The editors of Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal invite submissions for the Fall 2027/Volume 22.1 Forum on the topic of Early Modern Women and Generations.
In keeping with the Journal’s tradition since its third issue (2008), this Forum will comprise short contributions on a single topic by scholars from a variety of disciplines. For Volume 22.1, we invite contributions on **women and generations in the early modern world**. Papers might include examinations of intergenerational relationships among and between women, how gender shapes the expression of generational knowledge and status, how women preserve and protect the generations ahead of and behind them, how representations of generations are gendered, etc. We particularly encourage submissions that appeal to readers across disciplinary and national boundaries. Articles may cover literature, history, art history, history of science, geography, music, politics, religion, theater, cultural studies, and any region of the early modern world.
At least part of our selection process will be focused on assuring geographical, chronological, and disciplinary diversity across the essays ultimately published in this Forum.
Submissions are due October 1, 2026 and should be 3,500 words including footnotes; essays should follow the EMW Style Guide (www.journals.uchicago.edu/pb-assets/docs/journals/EMW-style-guide-CMOS18-1735857164913.pdf). Contributions will be peer-reviewed.
If you have any questions about whether your proposed forum essay fits the scope of the journal, please contact us at emw@press.uchicago.edu.
Please submit contributions at https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/journals/emw/about.
See Submissions and Instructions for Authors. For article type, select Forum
