- Description
- Throughout their lives and afterlives, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby have been figured as chaste romantic friends, prototypical lesbians, Bluestockings, Romantic domestic archetypes, and proleptically feminist modernists. This book demonstrates that this heterogeneous legacy discloses the queerness of their performatively instantiated identities.

- Description
- Juhasz explores women's desire for women as it is located in examples of twentieth-century British and American women's writing, including fiction, memoir, and poetry by such writers as Virginia Woolf, Vivian Gornick, Dorothy Allison, Mary Gordon, Toni Morrison, Marilyn Hacker, and Audre Lorde. She discusses how literary writing functions to enact and negotiate a series of relationships between women: daughter-mother, mother-daughter, lesbian lover-lesbian lover, writer-reader, and reader-writer. She shows how writing is a component of interpersonal relationships and how relationships are central to the construction of personal and social identity.

- Description
- This book opens a window into the lives of British spinsters in the mid-seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, assessing the opportunities open to them and the restrictions placed upon them within different social classes, occupations, and periods. Hill examines how often spinsters were able to earn enough money to live independently, She looks at the part single women played in religious organisations and the role of friendship and letter-writing in their daily lives. She describes the nature of close relationships between women, some lesbian but many others not. Exploring the spinsters' possibilities of escape from restrictive lives, particularly by emigration or crossdressing, she discusses how successful these were. She provides details about the degree of surveillance single women suffered from the authorities and how often they were seen as a threat to social order. Finally she addresses the question of whether all spinsters of this era were suffering victims or potential viragoes, or neither.

- Description
- At the height of her career, actress Charlotte Cushman (1816-76) was one of the most famous women in the English-speaking world. Cushman challenged Victorian notions of gender in her stage portrayals of male characters and of strong, androgynous female characters. Offstage, she was a powerful businesswoman who supported her family, women lovers, and friends. Merrill examines Cushman's personal correspondence to shed new light on the actress's relationships and in turn on our understandings of the nature of women's 'romantic friendships.' She demonstrates how Cushman's androgynous presence served as a symbol to many of her contemporaries, and revealed their multiple and often contradictory attitudes toward female performers, women, and the unspeakable possibilities of same-sex desire. The biography draws upon unpublished archival material as well as on current critical work to view Cushman's career, relationships, and posthumous reception. When Romeo Was a Woman examines as autobiographical performance Cushman's own narratives, the stories she authorized others to write, and the letters she wrote to intimates.

- Description
- Deze bundel kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van de in 1991 in Hartford, Connecticut gehouden conferentie van de Association for Women in Psychology met als thema 'Women in the '90s : unified in diversity'. In de bijdragen werden de verscheidenheid en de complexiteit van de levens van vrouwen onderzocht. Twee thema's vormen de rode draad in de bundel. AlsD eerste het idee dat vrouwen emotioneler zouden zijn en duse niet geschikt voor veel 'mannelijk' werk. Bovendien worden klachten van vrouwen daardoor niet serieus genomen. Daarnaast wordt betoogd dat de onzichtbaarheid van vrouwen een vorm van sociale controle is. bundel bevat de volgende bijdragen: The diversity of women's health needs / door Joan C.
