ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830 (ISSN 2157-7129) is an open access, interactive, scholarly journal, launched in 2011 by the Aphra Behn Society. The journal is supported by the University of South Florida Tampa Library. As a global open-access journal, ABO has and will continue to prioritize the concerns of women and gender in an inclusive context. That means we work toward understanding historic structures of racism, colonialism, and sexism and promote work to dismantle the damaging cultural inheritances. We welcome the writing of scholars and teachers from around the world who share this vision and wish to contribute to our platform or adopt the work already in circulation to help them with their research and teaching.
