    A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson (1682) upholds its cultural relevance by revealing what it means to be a female subject within a hegemonic, patriarchal system. Female authors of seventeenth-century Puritan America face an inexorable code that upholds dominant, patriarchal values. While it was not uncommon for Puritan women to write, indeed most early American women kept diaries, women’s writing was contained to domestic subjects, such as piety and virtue. However, the publication and reception of Rowlandson’s text, which presents a personal account of an Englishwoman’s capture and subsequent captivity by Algonquian Native Americans in New England, offers an example of approved female writing in public discourse.
