- Description
- '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.

- Carlson compares the dynasty of the writers Wollstonecraft, Godwin and Shelley to a family. Their works and lives influence each other. The book includes chapters on the writers' efforts to rewrite the sentiments and literary conventions associated with family life, their sentiments and opinions on life and death, their embrace of fancy, the texts they wrote on and for children. The political theories and novels of Wollstonecraft and Godwin are considered to reform love to make it more conductive to the autonomy of women and men. With an epilogue 'On Percy's case'.

- Description
- For their wit, intelligence, good looks, and politics, the aristocratic Mitford sisters were the toast of the mid-twentieth century. They were prodigious correspondents, particularly between each other. Mosley, daughter-in-law of Diana Mitford, has selected and excerpted from some 12,000 letters between the sisters over a period of almost 80 years. As friends and confidantes of noted figures of their time, from royals to statesmen to artists, the sisters drop prominent names offhandedly. Notable for their humor and compassion, these letters reveal Nancy's sharp tongue: Pamela's love of the land (but not of children): Diana's lifelong devotion to her fascist husband, Sir Oswald Mosley: Unity's infatuation with Hitler: and Deborah's role as peacemaker. Jessica scandalized her family by running away with her Communist cousin.

- In this publication, the author shows how, even in an era of globalization, national context is playing an important role in the development and use of genetic technologies. Focusing on the development and deployment of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer (known as BRCA testing) in the United States and Britain, she develops a comparative analysis framework in order to investigate how national ‘toolkits' shape both regulations and the architectures of technologies and uses this framework to assess the implications of new genetic technologies.

- Description
- This book provides the first full account of the collective campaign by women who did not want the parliamentary vote. The provenance of their ideas is explained through analysis of three overlapping groups of women: maternal reformers (e.g. Mary Ward, Louise Creighton, Ethel Harrison, Elisabeth Wordsworth, Lucy Soulsby), women writers (e.g. Mary Ward, Eliza Lyn Linton, Marie Corelli, Charlotte Yonge), and imperialist ladies (e.g. Violet Markham, Gertrude Bell, Mary Kingsley, and Flora Shaw). These women are then followed into action as campaigners in their own right, as well as supporters of anti-suffrage men. The study extends into the wider area of women's social and political activism in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Britain.

- Description
- This book examines the political influence of the leading Tory hostesses, the Marchionesses of Londonderry. From 1800-1959, these women were patrons and confidantes to key figures in the Anglo-Irish political establishment and, by the late 19th century, they were also exploiting more public avenues of political work: canvassing, addressing meetings and leading the new associations established in an attempt to educate a mass electorate. Their political influence changed with increasing democracy and the associated process of aristocratic decline. Central to the book is a depiction of the lives of three of the Marchionesses.

- Description
- 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.

- Description
- This book looks at the intersection of gender, citizenship, and nationalism: marriage, intermarriage, and how states gender that relationship: and the ways in which women are used as symbols to reinforce or further nationalistic goals. Women have long struggled with issues of citizenship, identity, and the challenge of being recognized as equal members of the community. Governments use feminine imagery (e.g., mother country) to create a national identity, while simultaneously minimizing the role that women play as productive contributors to the society. The authors examine the relationship of government and women in four different countries: the United States, Israel, the former Yugoslavia, and Northern Ireland. In each case, numerous similarities appear: conflict plays a significant role in the definition of citizenship for women: women's movements have worked in contradiction to the state: and citizenship and marriage are gendered undertakings.

- Description
- This book focuses on the three roles common to female organists in nineteenth-century England: recitalist, church musician, and composer. Barger utilizes many primary sources to piece together a picture of Stirling, as well as to present pictures from the lives of her female colleagues. Nineteenth-century newspapers and journals provide not only specific references to musical events, but also a view of the larger musical world and issues affecting nineteenth-century London organists. Works of fiction about musical heroines illustrate society's views about the role of music in women's lives and the consequences experienced by those women who did not abide by societal norms. Finally, perusal of published music by Stirling and her colleagues gives insight into compositional styles and practices and, when publicized in reviews, the value placed on these works. Issues with special relevance to female organists are explored in detail: inequality of education, the High-Church Oxford Movement, the process by which organists were chosen for church positions and the sexual politics of composition.
