Download or read book Diaries and Journals of Literary Women from Fanny Burney to Virginia Woolf written by J. Simons and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-04-18 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly original book investigates the part played by their personal writings in the lives of eight literary women. Can private journals provide information about their authors' public works? Do diaries dramatise the development of an individual literary `voice'? What was the special attraction of the diary form for women, and why has it been so undervalued? Drawing on current feminist critical approaches, Judy Simons explores these and other questions in a stimulating and wide-ranging study of women's diary writing, which revises our entire way of thinking about this traditionally neglected genre and its particular implications for the woman writer.

Download or read book Bachelors, Manhood, and the Novel, 1850–1925 written by Katherine V. Snyder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katherine Snyder's study explores the significance of the bachelor narrator, a prevalent but little-recognised figure in premodernist and modernist fiction by male authors, including Hawthorne, James, Conrad, Ford and Fitzgerald. Snyder demonstrates that bachelors functioned in cultural and literary discourse as threshold figures who, by crossing the shifting, permeable boundaries of bourgeois domesticity, highlighted the limits of conventional masculinity. The very marginality of the figure, Snyder argues, effects a critique of gendered norms of manhood, while the symbolic function of marriage as a means of plot resolution is also made more complex by the presence of the single man. Bachelor figures made, moreover, an ideal narrative device for male authors who themselves occupied vexed cultural positions. By attending to the gendered identities and relations at issue in these narratives, Snyder's study discloses the aesthetic and political underpinnings of the traditional canon of English and American male modernism.

Download or read book The Berkeley Literary Women's Revolution written by Marsha Hudson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even during the late 1960s, academia remained largely the province of men. That began to change at the University of California at Berkeley in 1969, when Marsha Hudson posted notices across campus proposing a feminist literary salon. The purpose was to discuss women's literature: a few female writers received passing notice in the classroom, but the multitude was either ignored or forgotten. The informal gatherings continued for years, growing into an activist movement that established the first Women's Studies major at Berkeley; helped produce the first major anthologies of women's poetry; and fought for equality and recognition in every corner of the education system. They risked their academic futures in the process, but the efforts of those women and others helped change the face and shape of higher learning forever. These 16 essays were written by members of Marsha's Salon and its successors, the Comparative Literature Women's Caucus, a group of female graduate students at UC-Berkeley organized in 1969 by Marsha Hudson. The group met for years, and helped lead the charge to bring sexual equality to all facets of education. These annotated essays recount the atmosphere of the time that made change necessary, the upheaval brought about by the feminist revolution in education, the direction that the movement took, and the current state of feminist learning in academia. An appendix features period letters and documents from group members (regarding the need for changes at Berkeley) as well as statistical information about women's studies and related subjects.

Download or read book Women and Islam in Early Modern English Literature written by Bernadette Andrea and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative study, Bernadette Andrea focuses on the contributions of women and their writings in the early modern cultural encounters between England and the Islamic world. She examines previously neglected material, such as the diplomatic correspondence between Queen Elizabeth I and the Ottoman Queen Mother Safiye at the end of the sixteenth century, and resituates canonical accounts, including Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's travelogue of the Ottoman empire at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Her study advances our understanding of how women negotiated conflicting discourses of gender, orientalism, and imperialism at a time when the Ottoman empire was hugely powerful and England was still a marginal nation with limited global influence. This book is a significant contribution to critical and theoretical debates in literary and cultural, postcolonial, women's, and Middle Eastern studies.

Download or read book Writing Women's History Since the Renaissance written by Mary Spongberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complaint of Catherine Morland in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, that history has 'hardly any women at all' is not an uncommon one. Yet there is evidence to suggest that women have engaged in historical writing since ancient times. This study traces the history of women's historical writing, reclaiming the lives of individual women historians, recovering women's historical writings from the past and focusing on how gender has shaped the genre of history. Mary Spongberg brings together for the first time an extensive survey of the progress of women's historical writing from the Renaissance to the present, demonstrating the continuities between women's historical writings in the past and the development of a distinctly woman-centred historiography. Writing Women's History since the Renaissance also examines the relationship between women's history and the development of feminist consciousness, suggesting that the study of history has alerted women to their unequal status and enabled them to use history to achieve women's rights. Whether feminist or anti-feminist, women who have had their historical writings published have served as role models for women seeking a voice in the public sphere and have been instrumental in encouraging the growth of a feminist discourse.

This book was released on 1996-08-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selles documents nearly a century of Methodist education from the early seminary movement in Upper Canada, through the establishment of ladies' colleges, to the admission of women into the university. She reconstructs what life was like for women at these institutions and highlights changing ideologies, curricula, and views on women's education as well as introducing some of the unique personalities who shaped Methodist higher education. Selles concludes that by attempting to create an ideal Christian woman through education, Methodist education structures consciously created and imposed a class-based gender ideology.
