- Description
- This book is the history of American women writers from 1650 to 2000. Showalter introduces more than 250 female writers. These include not only famous and expected names (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Willa Cather, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O’Connor, Toni Morrison among them), but also many who were once successful and acclaimed yet now are little known, from the early American best-selling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Susan Glaspell. Showalter shows how these writers—both the enduring stars and the ones left behind by the canon—were connected to one another and to their times. She believes it is time to fully integrate the contributions of women into the American literary heritage.

- Description
- Sibling bonds, both literal and figurative, have had a crucial role in American writings of queer desire and identity. Denis Flannery demonstrates the centrality of fraternal and sororal love to queer strands of nineteenth- and twentieth century texts from the elemental wildnesses of Moby-Dick to David Fincher's postmodern cinema: from the brutal and comic decorum of Henry James' major fiction to the elegiac memoir-writing of Jamaica Kincaid. Questions driving Flannery's exploration of sibling relations: How do we characterize the relationship between sibling love, queer possibility and the formal intensities of American writing? Why is brotherhood invoked as a positive value in announcements of the United States national aspirations but used repeatedly and ominously in that nation's texts to herald a fall?

Warren question the current boundaries of literary periods, advocating a revised literary canon. The essays consider a wide range of American women writers, including Mary Rowlandson, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Frances Harper, Edith Wharton, Gertrude Stein, Amy Lowell and Adrienne Rich, discussing how the present classification of these writers by periods affects our reading of their work. This volume also studies issues of a need for literary reforms considering differences in race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality

Charting the course of womanist theory from its genesis as Alice Walker's African-American feminism, through Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi's African womanism and Clenora Hudson-Weems' Africana womanism, to its present-day expression as a global, anti-oppressionist perspective rooted in the praxis of everyday women of color, this interdisciplinary reader traces the rich and diverse history of a quarter century of womanist thought. The book featurs selections from over a dozen disciplines by top womanist scholars from around the world, plus several critiques of womanism. It also contains an extensive bibliography of womanist sources.

- Description
- Book about the relationship between black women and technology. In this book, the author argues that this relationship knows a long history. The author considers the past, present and future of black feminist technoculture in the United States, from the writing of early twentieth-century black women to the bloggers and social media mavens of the twenty-first century. She connects letters, news articles and essays of black feminist writers of the past and a digital archive of blog posts, tweets and Instagram stories of some well-known contemporary black feminist writers. Linking narratives and existing literature about black women’s technology use in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century, the book traverses the bounds between historical and archival analysis and empirical internet studies.
