- Description
- Overview of popular feminist fiction from the late 1960s to the end of the 1990s, looking at how key feminist texts such as 'The Women's Room', 'Kinflicks' and 'Fear of Flying' have influenced popular contemporary works such as 'Bridget Jones' Diary' and 'Sex and the City'. Whelehan argues how feminism still shapes women's writing today, even when such writing seems to ignore or reject feminism.

- Description
- Robyn Warhol’s goal is to investigate the effects of reader’s emotional responses to formulaic fiction of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries on gendered subjectivity. She argues that modern literary and cultural studies have ignored nonsexual affectivity in their inquiries. The book elaborates on Warhol’s theory of affect and then focuses on sentimental stories, marriage plots, serialized novels, and soap operas as distinct genres producing specific feelings among fans. This book looks at the patterns of feelings that some nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular genres evoke, and asks how those patterns are related to gender. Soap operas and sentimentalism are generally derided as “effeminate” forms because their emotional range is seen as hyperfeminine. Having a Good Cry presents a celebration of effeminate feelings and works toward promoting more flexible, less pejorative concepts of gender. Using a psychophysiological rather than a psychoanalytic approach to reading and emotion, Warhol seeks to make readers more conscious of what is happening to the gendered body when we read.

- Description
- This book explores how female authors from across the political and generational spectrum (Ingeborg Bachmann, Christa Wolf, Elisabeth Plessen, Gisela Elsner, Tanja Dückers, Jenny Erpenbeck) conceptualize women's role in the Third Reich. As well as offering innovative re-readings of celebrated works, this book provides instructive interpretations of lesser-known works that nonetheless enrich our understanding of German memory culture.

- Description
- In this book, the author explores the Western portrayal of Japanese women, and geishas in particular, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. She argues that in the West, Japanese women have come to embody certain ideas about feminine sexuality, and she analyzes how these ideas have been expressed in diverse art forms, ranging from fiction and opera to the visual arts and music videos. Among the many works Kawaguchi discusses are the art criticism of Baudelaire and Huysmans, the opera Madama Butterfly, the sculptures of Rodin, the Broadway play Teahouse of the August Moon, and the international best seller Memoirs of a Geisha. Butterfly’s Sisters also examines the impact on early twentieth-century theatre, drama, and dance theory of the performance styles of the actresses Madame Hanako and Sadayakko, both formerly geishas.
