- Description
- Muscular women have long been the focus of public scrutiny, cultural contempt and fascination. Strong female bodies have been documented as far back as 1783, for example the Victorian Strong Woman. This book interrogates the protected status of femininity as it has been rendered irrelevant to the history, theory and politics of the muscular woman. Through its analysis of femininity’s complex relationship with muscularity, it explores the larger question: What is a woman?

- Description
- Gendering Modernism offers a critical reappraisal of the modernist movement, asking how gender norms of the time shaped the rebellion of the self-avowed modernists and examining the impact of radical gender reformers on modernism. Focusing primarily on the connections between North American and European modernists, the author explains why it is imperative that we consider the gender angles of modernism as a way to understand the legacies of the movement. She provides an overview of the scholarship on modernism and an analysis of how definitions of modernism have evolved with that scholarship. Interweaving case studies from before the Great War to the interwar period - looking at individual modernists from Ibsen to Picasso, Hannah Höch to Josephine Baker - she covers various fields such as art, literature, theatre and film, whilst also demonstrating how modernism manifested itself in the major social-political and cultural shifts of the 20th century, including feminism, psychology, sexology, eugenics, nudism, anarchism, communism and fascism.

- Description
- This book argues for the importance of bringing women and gender more directly into the dynamic field of exposition studies. Reclaiming women for the history of world fairs (1876-1937), it also seeks to introduce new voices into these studies, dialoguing across disciplinary and national historiographies.

- Description
- First published: 2016. First American edition: 2017. A flâneuse is a determined, resourceful individual attuned to the creative potential of the city. In this part cultural book, part memoir, the author takes us on a tour to New York, Paris, Venice, Tokyo, and London, and describes what urban settings have meant to women, charting through literature, art, history, and film. We are shown the paths beaten by such flâneuses as the cross-dressing nineteenth-century novelist George Sand, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the wartime correspondent Martha Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys.
