Her current research looks at women\u2019s  legal capabilities and the circulation of legal knowledge in England,  Massachusetts, and Maryland in the seventeenth century. She is currently  working on a book project titled <em>Women, Power, and Litigation in the English Atlantic World, 1630-1700<\/em>.  This project reveals that women who appeared before the courts  comprehended their legal rights and privileges, possessed a sound  understanding of the legal issues at stake in their cases, and protected  their self-interest through legal recourse. Focusing on the causal role  played by women in history and how they shaped, interpreted, and  negotiated the structures of hierarchy and authority that governed them,  this work examines how women initiated legal action as self-directed  individuals working for their own benefit and the well-being of those  close to them. While female litigants might draw from the advice of male  lawyers and family members, their testimonies, petitions, and  correspondence make clear that these women were the forces at work in  the legal cases in which they were involved. In all, the actions of  women before the courts directly challenged seventeenth-century notions  of women\u2019s natural passivity.<\/p>\n<p>Moore\u2019s research has been supported by fellowships from the  Mellon Foundation, the Huntington Library, the Cosmos Club Foundation,  and the North American Conference on British Studies.
