- Description
- Spanning over nine hundred years Duran tries to trace the themes of standard philosophical theorizing and feminist thought across women philosophers in the Western tradition. Jane Duran has crafted an overview of eight women philosophers--Hildegard of Bingen, Anne Conway, Mary Astell, Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Taylor Mill, Edith Stein, Simone Weil, and Simone de Beauvoir--that underscores the profound and continuing significance of these thinkers for contemporary scholars. .Duran devotes one chapter to each philosopher and provides a critical analysis of her work, utilizing aspects of Continental theory, poststructuralist theory, and literary theory. She situates each philosopher within her respective era and in relation to her intellectual contemporaries.

- Description
- Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1841-1929) was the first woman in Scotland to gain a university qualification. She devoted her life to the study of Shakespeare and to the promotion of women in public life. Though Charlotte is largely forgotten, her daughter Marie Carmichael Stopes (1880-1958) is well known as a passionate advocate of sex education and women’s rights. In this study Green asserts that Marie’s success can only be understood in relation to the achievements of her mother.

- Description
- Deze bundel bevat een multidisciplinaire collectie studies over vrouwen in wonderverhalen, gevonden in teksten uit de klassiekers onder de religieuze teksten tot en met hedendaagse fictie. Wonderverhalen zijn een belangrijk genre voor de bestudering van het religieuze erfgoed van vrouwen en voor de historische en culturele waardering van vrouwen als 'geloofsmakers'. Wonderverhalen spreken de gewone man meer aan dan bijvoorbeeld leerstellingen en officiële ecclesiastische teksten en zijn als zodanig van belang voor de bestudering van vrouwenlevens en hun religieuze aspiraties. De bijdragen in deze bundel proberen dit terrein te ontsluiten door case studies vanuit verschillende gezichtshoeken en disciplines te benaderen.

It examines topics of central importance to our understanding of the literary field in France in the period, such as the close relationship between politics and literature: the historical, political, cultural and personal legacies of the First World War: the so-called ‘crisis of the novel’ and the attempt to create and develop new narrative forms: the phenomenon of Russian emigration to Paris in the wake of the Russian Revolution and Civil War: the possibilities for the creation of a French-Jewish identity and mode of writing: and the threat of fascism and the approach of the Second World War.

- Description
- Jack traces a history marked by persistent efforts to prevent women from gaining literacy or reading what they wished. She also recounts the counter-efforts of those who have battled for girls' access to books and education. The book introduces frustrated female readers of many eras—Babylonian princesses who called for women's voices to be heard, rebellious nuns who wanted to share their writings with others, confidantes who challenged Reformation theologians' writings, nineteenth-century New England mill girls who risked their jobs to smuggle novels into the workplace, and women volunteers who taught literacy to women and children on convict ships bound for Australia. Today, new distinctions between male and female readers have emerged, and Jack explores such contemporary topics as burgeoning women's reading groups, differences in men and women's reading tastes, censorship of women's on-line reading in countries like Iran, the continuing struggle for girls' literacy in many poorer places, and the impact of women readers in their new status as significant movers in the world of reading.

She makes connections between veiling and foot binding, between Cinderella and Barbie, between the figures of the female Gypsy and the witch.

- Description
- The author explores what it means to make history by focussing on the fifteenth-century writer Christine de Pizan, the writings of nineteenth-century suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and twentieth-century novelist Virginia Woolf. Ulrich tells stories about women warriors from different times and places. She contrasts Woolf’s imagined story about Shakespeare’s sister with biographies of actual women who were Shakespeare’s contemporaries. She examines how Stanton’s encounter with a runaway slave would change if the slave was at the center in stead of the white suffragist.

- Description
- Description of the evolution of the relationship between urban life and homosexuality over the past two centuries, tracing how homosexuals have simultaneously become model citizens of the modern city and avatars of the urban. Exploring the lives of prominent gay men and women, literary depictions of gay city life, classic works of urban theory and the rhetoric of political reformers, the author examines what it means to be metropolitan and what it means to be queer. She juxtaposes works from writers such as Balzac and Baudelaire, Henry James and James Baldwin, Walter Benjamin and Jane Jacobs to redefine familiar urban types such as the flaneur, the prostitute and the drag queen.

- Description
- This book addresses the critical question of how to approach the study of women's writing. It explores various methods of engaging in a meaningful way with a rich corpus of poetry and prose written by women of the late Ming and Qing periods, much of it rediscovered by the author in rare book collections in China and the United States. Fong argues that literate women in late imperial China used writing and reading to create literary and social communities, transcend temporal-spatial and social limitations, and represent themselves as the authors of their own life histories.
