Mining a variety of genres from Shakespearean plays and medical texts to autobiographical writings, Bicks demonstrates how early moderns depicted female puberty as a transformative event that activated girls' cognitive faculties in dynamic ways, gifting them with the ability to invent, judge, and remember what others could or would not.
