- Description
- This book is the history of American women writers from 1650 to 2000. Showalter introduces more than 250 female writers. These include not only famous and expected names (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Willa Cather, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O’Connor, Toni Morrison among them), but also many who were once successful and acclaimed yet now are little known, from the early American best-selling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Susan Glaspell. Showalter shows how these writers—both the enduring stars and the ones left behind by the canon—were connected to one another and to their times. She believes it is time to fully integrate the contributions of women into the American literary heritage.

- Description
- Onderzoeker bekijkt de zich ontwikkelende Afro-Amerikaanse religieuze cultuur en de opkomst van vrije zwarte gemeenschappen. Ze onderzoekt de relatie tussen ras, cultuur en samenleving. De schrijfster doet dit aan de hand van werken die vier Afro-Amerikaanse vrouwen schreven tussen 1760 en 1863, een periode waarin de Afro-Amerikaanse cultuur vorm begon te krijgen. Het gaat om de dichteressen Phillis Wheatley en Ann Plato, en de kerkelijke voorgangers Jarena Lee en Rebecca Cox Jackson.

- Description
- This collection brings together twelve essays that tackle the nexus between gender, literature, and the visual arts. While it provides a philosophical and theoretical background for some of the factors that shape female creativity, it also considers the contributions of particular writers and artists from the late 17th century to the contemporary scene. Mostly focusing on the U.S. context, the articles anthologized here further establish a dialogue with other cultural backgrounds, offering the reader a wider perspective of networks of women artists in several countries.

- Description
- From their debut in Berlin in the 1780s to their emergence in 1930s California, Jewish women’s salons served as welcoming havens where all classes and creeds could openly debate art, music, literature, and politics. This book explores the history of these salons where remarkable women of intellect resolved that neither gender nor religion would impede their ability to bring about social change.. .The authors examine the lives of more than a dozen Jewish salonières, charting the evolution of the salon over time and among cultures, in cities including Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, New York, and Milan. They show how each woman uniquely adapted the salon to suit her own interests while maintaining the salon’s key characteristics of basic informality and a diversity of guests. Other distinguished contributors to the volume discuss in detail the Berlin salons of the 1800s: the salon in terms of Jewish acculturation and its relation to gender and music: and the relations of Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, and Gertrude Stein to the literary salon. The book is enriched with a lavish array of illustrations, including documentary photographs, paintings, drawings, prints, and decorative arts.
