Text and image in women's life writing
This book examines the relationship between words and images in various life-writing works produced by nineteenth to twenty-first century American and British women. It addresses the politics of images in women’s life writing, contending that the presence or absence of images is often strategic. Including a range of different forms of life writing, chapters draw on traditional (auto)biographies, travel narratives, memoirs, diaries, autofiction, cancer narratives, graphic memoirs, artistic installations, quilts and online performances, as life writing moves from page to screen and other media. The book explores a wide range of women who have crossed the boundary between text and image: painters who have become writers, novelists who have become painters, writers who hesitate between images and words, models who seize the camera, and artists who use the frame as a page.- Creator

The lost girls
'The lost girl' analyses a number of British writers between 1850 and 1930 and the (shifting) influence and role of the Persephone myth.. In this myth Demeter sacrificed her daughter Kore-Persephone to the God of the Dead. This book, in addition to scrutinising canonical and less well-known texts by male authors such as Thomas Hardy, E.M. Forster and D.H. Lawrence, also focusses on unjustly neglected women writers - Mary Webb and Mary Butts. The texts are also placed in relation to Victorian archaeologists, especially Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), and their influence on interpretation of Hellenist myth.- Creator

Addressing the other woman
This book analyses how three artists - Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero and Mary Kelly - worked with the visual dimensions of language in the 1960s and 1970s. These artists used text and images of writing to challenge female stereotypes, addressing viewers and asking them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words and images of subordination. The book explores this dimension of their work through the concept of 'the other woman', a utopian wish to reach women and correspond with them across similarities and differences. To make the artwork's aspirations more concrete, it places the artists in correspondence with three writers - Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, and Laura Mulvey - who also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible.- Creator

A Victorian woman's place
While the image of bourgeois Victorian women as 'angels in the house' isolated from the world in private domesticity has long been dismissed as an unrealistic ideal, women have remained marginalized in many recent accounts of the public culture of the middle class. This book redresses the balance and argues that women played an important role in the formation of the public identity of the Victorian middle class. Through their support for cultural and philanthropic associations and their engagement in political campaigns, women developed a civic identity, which for some informed their later demands for political rights.- Creator

Everyday life as alternative space in exile writing
Comparative study of the novels written by five German-speaking women - Anna Gmeyner, Selma Kahn, Hilde Spiel, Martina Wied and Hermynia Zur Mühlen - who had to flee National Socialist Central Europe. The aim of this study is to reassess the women refugee writers' narrative strategies and integrate their work within feminist literary studies. The author investigates the five writers' narrativisation of everyday life, used to subvert the dominant discourse, and their portrayal of the intersection between class, racial and gender oppression. The book situates the novels within the theoretical discussions surrounding exile studies, social history and women's writing. . .Contents: Exile Studies in Germany, Austria and Britain - Feminist readings of women refugee novels - Portrayal of Jewish characters - Representations of women - The possibilities of everyday life - Family sagas as multicultural utopias - Respacialisation of politics - Alternative narrative space.- Creator

Women, celebrity, and literary culture between the wars
In the years between the first and second world wars the fenomenon of stardom and celebrity spread to writers. Personal appearances and private lives came to fascinate readers as much as their work. Fame and commercial success of these writers, and their gender affected the literary reception of their work. Literary elites called their writing 'middlebrow'. This book is a comparative study of North American and British literary celebrity. It profiles seven American, Canadian, and British women writers - Dorothy Parker, Anita Loos, Mae West, L. M. Montgomery, Margaret Kennedy, Stella Gibbons, and E.M. Delafield.- Creator
