This entry provides an overview of the often fragmentary nature of early modern women’s writing, touching on women’s production of unstable and sometimes temporary texts in manuscript miscellanies, loose sheets of correspondence, recipe books, needlework, and housework. It outlines the way in which book history has gendered durable and stable books as male in contrast to the female fragmentariness of domestic textual cultures. The gendering and alienation of fragments from the masculine discourse of book history is most visible in the frequent anecdotes, dating from the seventeenth through twentieth centuries, regarding women and servants destroying the unpublished papers of educated men. It concludes by highlighting the recent scholarly consensus that early modern literary culture is characterized by fragmentariness, mobility, and the threat of loss, and so that, as a result, women’s fragments and domestic textualities are representative and influential forms of literary production.
