depends on context: within the socially fluid and cohesivejewish communities of sixteenthand seventeenth-century Europe, for example, the opposition clean/unclean did not operate to make things harder for women than, say, in Calvinist Geneva. If anything, it gave them added purchase in their relations with their husbands. The other arbitrary feature is Dr. Maclean's omission of writings by learned women like Christine de Pisan and Marguerite of Navarre and of texts on witchcraft by learned lawyers and theologians. In the former case, his grounds were presumably that the ladies were not formal members of academic disciplines; in the latter he claims that female sorcery was rarely discussed outside of special treatises on the subject. But these distinctive links with experience—with that of the female highly trained outside of a university setting, with that of the lawyer reflecting on cases of major importance—would make their texts especially useful in exploring the pervasiveness of traditional categories of opposition. Dr. Maclean's book does not replace Ruth Kelso's abundant Doctrine for the Lady of the Renaissance (1956), nor does it substitute for Carolyn Merchant's imaginative new Death of Nature (1980) on the relation between thought about the sexes and the scientific revolution. But it adds immeasurably to the rigor, depth, and scholarship of the argument about women and provides remarkable insight into the connections among the disciplines in a century of proliferating academic production.
