- Kate Chopin is now recognised as a unique voice in American literature. Her seminal novel, The Awakening, published in 1899, explored new and startling territory, and stunned readers with its frank depiction of the limits of marriage and motherhood. The essays in this Companion treat a wide range of Chopin's stories and novels, drawing her relationship with other writers, genres and literary developments, and pay close attention to the transatlantic dimension of her work.

- Description
- In this collection of essays, contributors explore the construction of women as homemakers and the erasure of household labor from the middle-class home in popular representations of housework. They concentrate on such matters as the impact of second-wave feminism on families and gender relations: of popular culture—especially in film, television, magazines, and advertising—on our views of what constitutes home life and gender relations: and of changing views of sexuality and masculinity within the domestic sphere.

- Description
- This book engages current scholarship on women in Texas, the South, and the United States. It provides insights into Texas’s geographic position, bordering on the West and sharing a history with Mexico, while analyzing the ways in which Texas stories mirror a larger American narrative. The biographies and essays illustrate a diversity among Texas women, reflecting experiences ranging from those of dispossessed enslaved women to wealthy patrons of the arts. That history also captures the ways in which women’s lives reflect both personal autonomy and opportunities to engage in the public sphere.

- Description
- Collection of essays on the life and work of activist and journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931). Known as an anti-lynching crusader, Ida B. Wells-Barnett worked throughout her life as a political advocate for the rights of women, minorities and members of the working class. This volume provides insight into communication techniques such as lecture circuits, public relations campaigns and investigative journalism, which Wells-Barnett used to combat racism and sexism and to promote social equity. Also her dual career as a journalist and political agitator, her advocacy efforts on (inter)national and local level and her role as a bridge in key social movements of the nineteenth and twentieth century, are considered.

- Description
- Focusing on images of or produced by well-to-do nineteenth-century European women, this volume explores genteel femininity as resistant to easy codification to the public. The essays in the book demonstrate that definitions of both femininity and the public were mutually defining and constantly shifting. The essays also consider works in a range of media from fashion prints and paintings to private journals and architectural designs, facilitating an analysis of femininity in public across the cultural production of the period. Various European centers, including Madrid, Florence, Paris, Brittany, Berlin and London, emerge as crucial sites of production for genteel femininity, providing a long-overdue rethinking of modern femininity in the public sphere.
