- Description
- 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.

- Description
- Bespreking van de televisieserie 'De nieuwe achternaam' over twee hartsvriendinnen en een man die hen uit elkaar speelt in de jaren zestig van de twintigste eeuw, een verfilming van het tweede deel (uit 2012) van de vierdelige boekenserie 'De Napolitaanse romans' van de Italiaanse schrijfster Elena Ferrante. De passage over de ontmaagding van Elena (Lenù) uit het boek wordt vergeleken met de scene in de serie, geregisseerd door de Italiaanse Alice Rohrwachter: zelfkastijding én genot versus een politiek correct gefilmde net niet verkrachting. Tevens een boekbespreking van de Nederlandse vertaling van de nieuwe roman 'Het leugenachtige leven van volwassenen' (uit 2019) van Elena Ferrante, over een vrouw en haar afdaling van de sociale ladder in Napels, Italië.

- Description
- All three women would go on to become icons, key figures in American cultural, intellectual, and political life, but when they embarked for France, they were young, uncertain about their future, and drawn to the culture and sophistication that only Paris could offer. Yet their backgrounds and their dreams couldn’t have been more different. Jacqueline Bouvier was a twenty-year-old debutante, a Catholic girl from a wealthy East Coast family. Susan Sontag was twenty-four, a precocious Jewish intellectual from a North Hollywood family of modest means, and Paris was a refuge from motherhood, a failing marriage, and graduate work in philosophy at Oxford. Angela Davis, a French major at Brandeis from a prominent African American family in Birmingham, Alabama, found herself the only black student in her year abroad program—in a summer when all the news from Birmingham was of unprecedented racial violence.Kaplan takes readers into the lives, hopes, and ambitions of these young women, tracing their paths to Paris and tracking the discoveries, intellectual adventures, friendships, and loves that they found there.

- Description
- This book traces the development of a Left feminist consciousness as women became more actively involved in the American Left during and immediately following World War II. McDonald argues that women writers on the Left drew on the rhetoric of antifascism to critique the cultural and ideological aspects of women's oppression. The book provides a historical overview of women writers who anticipated issues about women's oppression and the intersections of gender, race, and class that would become central tenants of feminist literary criticism and black feminist criticism in the 1970s and 1980s. It closely considers works by writers both well-known and obscure, including Lorraine Hansberry, Alice Childress, Martha Dodd, Sanora Babb, and Beth McHenry.

- Verkorte versie van de Edgar du Perronslezing op 16 april 2019. De auteur analyseert het koloniale en seksistische beeld van de hoofdpersoon in Du Perron's roman 'Het land van herkomst' (1935), dat zich voor een deel afspeelt in Nederlands-Indië. Ze beschrijft hoe Du Perron, die in de hoofdpersoon te herkennen is, in het boek inzicht geeft in de raciale en klassehierarchische verhoudingen in de koloniale samenleving en de superieuriteit van de witte bovenklasse.

- Description
- This publication considers the literary, historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts of American women authors from the seventeenth century to the present and gives an analysis of current literary trends and debates in women’s literature. The volume examines the ways in which women writers from diverse racial, social, and cultural backgrounds have shaped American literary traditions, giving particular attention to the ways writers worked inside, outside, and around the strictures of their cultural and historical moments to create space for women’s voices and experiences as a vital part of American life.

- Description
- Lamont offers detailed studies of some of the many women who helped shape the western. Their novels bear the classic hallmarks of the western (cowboys, schoolmarms, gun violence, lynchings, cattle branding) while also placing female characters at the center of their western adventures and improvising with western conventions in ingenious ways. In Emma Ghent Curtis’s The Administratrix a widow disguises herself as a cowboy and infiltrates the cowboy gang responsible for lynching her husband. Muriel Newhall’s pulp serial character, Sheriff Minnie, comes to the rescue of a steady stream of defenseless female victims. B. M. Bower, Katharine Newlin Burt, and Frances McElrath use cattle branding as a metaphor for their feminist critiques of patriarchy.

- Description
- Hackett examines portrayals of race, class, and sexuality in modernist texts by white women to argue for the existence of a literary device that she calls 'Sapphic primitivism'. The works covered vary in form and content, and include Olive Schreiner's proto-modernist exploration of 'New Womanhood', 'The story of an African farm': Virginia Wolf's high modernist play-poem, 'The waves': Sylvia Townsend Warner's historical novel, 'Summer will show': and Willa Cather's Southern pastoral, 'Sapphira and the slave girl'. In each, blackness and working-class culture are seen as representing sexual autonomy, including lesbianism, for white women.

- Description
- Can there be a flaneuse, and what form might she take? This is the central question of Streetwalking the Metropolis, a contribution to ongoing debates on the city and modernity in which Deborah Parsons re-draws the gendered map of urban modernism. Assessing the cultural and literary history of the concept of the flaneur, the urban observer/writer traditionally gendered as masculine, the author advances critical space for the discussion of a female 'flaneuse', focused around a range of women writers from the 1880s to World War Two. Cutting across period boundaries, this wide-ranging study offers stimulating accounts of works by writers including Amy Levy, Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, Rosamund Lehmann, Jean Rhys, Janet Flanner, Djuna Barnes, Anais Nin, Elizabeth Bowen and Doris Lessing, highlighting women's changing relationship with the social and psychic spaces of the city, and drawing attention to the ways in which the perceptions and experiences of the street are translated into the dynamics of literary texts.
