- Description
- 'No more separate spheres!' explores the limitations of thinking about nineteenth-century American culture within the narrow rubric of 'male public' and 'female private' spheres. This collection examines the ways that the separate spheres binary has malingered unexamined in feminist criticism, American literary studies, and debates on the public sphere. Using American literary studies as a way to talk about changing categories of analysis, these essays discuss the work of major authors as Catharine Sedgwick, Herman Melville, Pauline E. Hopkins, Frederick Douglass, Catherine Beecher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, W.E.B. Du Bois, Sarah Orne Jewett, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and María Ampara Ruiz de Burton.

- Description
- The field of American women's writing is one characterized by innovation: scholars are discovering new authors and works, as well as new ways of historicizing this literature, rethinking contexts and categories. This book develops and challenges historical, cultural, theoretical, even polemical methods, all of which will advance the future study of American women writers – from Native Americans to postmodern communities, from individual careers to communities of writers and readers.

- 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
- Interdisciplinaire introductie op vrouwenstudies waarin de belangrijkste debatten en theorieën aan de orde komen. Elk hoofdstuk wordt beloten met een aantal vragen en een literatuurlijst. In deel 1 'The social organization of gender relations' wordt ingegaan op de manier waarop sekseongelijkheid is geïnstitutionaliseerd. Onderzoek is gedaan naar gezin, romantische liefde, betaalde arbeid, opvoeding en religie als sociale instituties die worden gezien als fundamenteel voor de maatschappij, de vraag is hoe vrouwen door de organisatie van sekserelaties in deze instituties zijn beïnvloed. In deel 2 'The cultural representation of women' wordt ingegaan op: strategieën in verband met vrouwelijke representatie in literatuur, visuele kunst en film, stereotypering in autobiografieën, voorstellingen van vrouwen in de Christelijke traditie, ook wordt aandacht besteed aan ras en sekse. In deel 3 'Gender and social identity' worden populaire constructies onderzocht van 'vrouwelijke' identiteit. Ingegaan wordt op de betekenis van moederschap en feministische antwoorden op het vrouw-zijn en moederschap, de filosofische implicaties van veronderstelde moederlijke eigenschappen, de geschiedenis van lesbianisme, het begrip vrouw in de Engelse wet, de kritiek van zwarte feministen op witte vrouwen, verschillende interpretaties van vrouw-zijn in de islam.

- Description
- This collection of verse and prose pieces by over 50 Italian American women writers-some well established, others newer to the field-reveals the evocative and provocative power of food as event and as symbol, as well as the diversity of these women's lives and their ambivalence regarding the role of nurturer. Most of the selections have a deeply spiritual or religious dimension, albeit not always an affirmative one. For instance, in Camille Trinchieri's 'Kitchen Communion,' a grieving widow gives her adult children ashes from their father's cremated remains as a way of keeping the dysfunctional family together, while Sandra M. Gilbert's 'Kissing the Bread' explores various kinds of kisses-of blessing, preparation for crisis, guilt, mocking, dread, and good-bye.

- The Womanist Reader anthologizes the major works of womanist scholarship. Charting the course of womanist theory from its genesis as Alice Walker's African-American feminism, through Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi's African womanism and Clenora Hudson-Weems' Africana womanism, to its present-day expression as a global, anti-oppressionist perspective rooted in the praxis of everyday women of color, this interdisciplinary reader traces the rich and diverse history of a quarter century of womanist thought. The book featurs selections from over a dozen disciplines by top womanist scholars from around the world, plus several critiques of womanism. It also contains an extensive bibliography of womanist sources.

- Description
- The authors of the articles in this book ask themselves: is this a post-feminist era? Did the feminist revolution succeed? Have feminist goals become mainstream or marginalized? What do young women think about women's issues today? It is time to update what has happened in the women's world since the original volume was published. .Editor Gayle Kimball and other significant figures in the women's movement—such as Marge Piercy, Robin Morgan, and Judy Chicago—discuss these questions in chapters that address the visual arts and media, music, literature, religion, and politics. In this exploration of women's culture, these authors share their experiences and research at the dawn of the 21st century.
