Examines early American texts published between 1767 and 1867 whose narratives represent women’s engagement in the formation of empire. Maria O’Malley’s analysis unearths a variety of responses to contact, exchange, and cohabitation, stressing the possibilities inherent in the literary to foster participation, resignification, and rapprochement.
