Authors:Seethaler I. Pages: 1 - 21 Abstract: One in six women and one in 19 men in the USA experience stalking. The vast majority of stalkers are men. Popular culture and media coverage tend to offer a distorted image of stalking or ignore it completely. Women who have survived a stalker are often victim-blamed and made to feel shame. In this context of doubting women, this article analyzes three women’s memoirs—Kate Brennan’s In His Sights (2008), Jane Jeong Trenka’s The Language of Blood (2003), and Belle Yang’s Forget Sorrow (2010)—that create awareness about stalking. My discussion suggests that women skillfully use memoir’s flexibility to portray the intersections of various forms of oppression that nourish stalking; their testimonies craft community among survivors, provide advice about how to negotiate a legal system that ignores women’s experiences, and promote empathy.

Authors:Quassdorf S. Pages: 22 - 41 Abstract: Alongside the stereotypically feminine themes of personal relationships and consumption, chick lit also addresses work, which often leads to the question of “can a woman have it all'” Anna Yen’s Sophia of Silicon Valley (2018) and Elisabeth Cohen’s The Glitch (2018) take up this theme in Silicon Valley, where every aspect of life is damagingly subordinated to work and “having it all” comes to mean at best “having a job.” It emerges that, despite its overtly progressive, “cool” image, Silicon Valley perpetuates paternalistic structures. Although their rise to CEO status might appear to illustrate women’s empowerment, both protagonists remain unable or unwilling to transform the underlying values and power structures of their male-dominated organizations.

Authors:Avery C. Pages: 42 - 59 Abstract: The narrative of hard-boiled crime fiction is typically embedded in a city, and knowledge of this place is intrinsic to the investigator’s characterization. Through an examination of Jenny Siler’s Easy Money (1998) and Flashback (2004), this essay explores the impact on both the investigative narrative and the representation of identity when place is reconfigured. By employing Doreen Massey’s analysis of the politics of place and space and Manuel Castells’ concept of the “space of flows,” I examine how Siler’s work brings into play concepts of legitimacy, geopolitical borders, and belonging. I consider how the removal of symbolic meaning from a place through the rejection of its boundary condition or the negation of its past has a political impact: it challenges what and who is given value.

Authors:Adam S. Pages: 60 - 78 Abstract: Ali Smith’s Autumn is widely regarded as one of the most significant Brexlit novels to be published since the UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum on 23 June 2016. This article analyzes the novel’s use of mood, which is generated simultaneously through representations of collective emotional reactions, an innovative temporal structure, and through a reworking of the state-of-the-nation novel tradition. The relationship between the nation and the novel is developed through temporality, where historical and contemporary collective feelings of crisis unify the nonchronological narrative sequence. This article makes an intervention into discussions of Brexlit by foregrounding the use of mood as a regulator of multiple temporalities and nonchronological structural engagements with time as more useful than conventional realism in conveying the national impact of Brexit.

Authors:Mondragón Paredes V. Pages: 79 - 97 Abstract: Naomi Alderman’s speculative fiction novel The Power (2016) centers on a newfound supernatural ability in women: shooting lightning with their hands. A critical reading of this biologically determined ability is needed to assess Alderman’s conception of the female body. While the corruption of women in the novel demonstrates that reversing power structures would not be an adequate solution to gender-based oppression, a unique perspective on the skein can be discerned by employing the psychoanalytic framework of the monstrous-feminine archetype. By tracking the development of the archetype in the novel, from the seemingly feminist witch through its (d)evolution into the phallic woman, this essay will argue that the abjectification of the female body in the novel works strategically to denounce the gender binary itself.

Authors:Du J. Pages: 98 - 117 Abstract: Through publicly mourning the loss of family members, communities, and natural habitats, Paula Meehan’s poems de-privatize and politicize grieving and lamentation, functioning in resistance to the existing social and cultural norms. From Reading the Sky (1985) to As If By Magic (2020), Meehan has been conscious of and has continuously delineated the deterioration of the ecosystem due to the exploitative expansion of human society. Drawing on ecofeminist theories and Judith Butler’s theorizations of precariousness and grievability, the essay explores how Meehan depicts ecological grief and the interrelationship between human and nonhuman beings at different stages of her poetic career; it further probes how she illuminates and complicates the ethics of mourning and ecofeminism in her ecological elegies.
