- Description
- The authors argue that Sinclair, pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (1862-1946), embodied the contradictions of her era: both Victorian and modern time. By examining Sinclair's writings they engage with the cultural and literary phenomena Sinclair herself criqued and influenced: the evolving literary marketplace, changing sexual and social mores, developments in the fields of psychology, the women's suffrage movement, and World War I. Through her writing Sinclair was connected with authors such as James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, Charlotte Mew and Dorothy Richardson.

- Description
- This publication brings to light the work of a selection of German-speaking women journalists from the first half of the twentieth century who made significant contributions to German life and culture, yet are barely known today. The volume builds upon scholarship on women and culture by focusing on individual journalists who published both within and outside the periodicals of women's organizations and women's magazines. This volume closes with Erika Mann's autobiographical fragment ‘I, of all People'.

- Description
- This volume covers the country from Cork to Belfast, from 1914 up to the early 2000s. Half of the book is devoted to Northern Ireland and to the second part of the twentieth century. The chapters describe the participation of women in war, the portrayal and non-portrayal of women in war, their experiences of war and the consequences they suffered. This book is not only about women fighting, it is also about how war and warlike situations affected women of all types and classes and their children: prostitutes, rural women, urban women, protestant women, Catholic women, writers, dramatists, artists, journalists, women in the peace movement, feminists, free women and imprisoned women. The thirteen chapters include two articles on the First World War, about 'The Women's Legion'- a women's voluntary organization, and one about the poet and writer Winifred Letts and her responses to the war. Two articles on the Irish War of Independence are concerned with representation and portrayals of women involved in the nationalist cause. The Second World War is the subject of three articles, about prostitutes, babies and rural women.
