- 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.

- Description
- This examination of convent life paints a portrait of the women who led mostly hidden lives of work and prayer between the late 15th and early 18th centuries. The author tells how nuns of this period engaged in such creative pursuits as writing, music, the visual arts and theater. Some even wrote spirited defenses of their gender, confronting the prevailing view of women as less than men (although at least one of these—Teresa of Ávila—had her words on the subject censored from the published version of The Way of Perfection). Evangelisti also deals with a darker side of convent life: that of women being forced by their families to become nuns because of the few opportunities available to women of that time. She also points out that, for others, becoming a nun was a suitable alternative to marriage.

- Description
- This book examines women’s domestic occupations in the Romantic-period novel. By examining the momentary thought and feeling processes that informed the playing of a harp, the stitching of a dress, or the reading of a gothic novel, the book shifts the focus from women’s socio-cultural contributions through domestic endeavor to how women’s day-to-day tasks shaped experiences of joy, friendship, resentment, and self. Specifically, the book examines needlework, musical accomplishment, novel reading, and sensibility in the work of Charlotte Smith (‘Ethelinde’, 'The old manor house'), Jane Austen ('Mansfield Park', Northanger Abbey'), and Frances Burney ('The wanderer').
