  • Reterritorialize, Baby

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Torrey Peters’s full-length novel debut seems to announce its foci in its two-word title, Detransition, Baby: the logic, process, and consequences of sex-gender detransition, and the desire, symbolism, and politics of producing and rearing a child.1 But then, there is no child, and there is no narrative—explanatory, emotional, or expository—of detransition, detailed in the novel. Instead, Peters’s novel is bookended by what her protagonist, Reese, describes as the trans woman version of the “Sex and the City problem” (7). By the end of the book, Reese’s former paramour and potential surrogate co-parent Ames’s detransition is still very real, but the baby remains somewhat of a fiction. Reconciliation between the two ... Read More

  • The Aeronautical “You”: Destabilizing Boundaries in Beryl Markham’s
           West with the Night

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Perhaps as a result of her intrepid, pioneering achievements in the air and on the ground, Beryl Markham’s life and writing have elicited a gamut of reactions. Anne Herrmann describes Markham as a “pioneer” in her time; as she was the first woman to attain a horse training license in Kenya, and the first woman to travel successfully westward across the Atlantic in 1936.1 Yet, Markham even now serves as a controversial figure, inciting great bursts of fierce support, and equally fierce disdain. As the first woman to fly across the Atlantic from east to west in a solitary flight, Markham became fodder for newspaper headlines and articles across Europe and North America, dominating pages in nearly every city in ...

  • Intersections of Maternity, Eugenics, and Violence in Edith Summers
           Kelley’s Weeds

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In a 1921 guest editorial to The Birth Control Review, Theodore Dreiser contributes to the early-twentieth-century’s divisive birth control conversation by chastising those who failed to recognize the demands that increased child-bearing and childrearing placed on American women. He writes, “The individual should be better cared for at every turn if he is to do better, and where better to begin with him and his proper care than at the source—by regulating the number of him to as many as can be intelligently cared for. This seems to be so plain that the thickest of dunces should be able to see the point.”1 Dreiser’s argument is a decisive retort against the growing popularity of positive eugenics, the ... Read More

  • “I Want to Satisfy Two Kinds of Love”: Filial Piety, Mother-Daughter
           Bonding, and Romantic Love in Feng Yuanjun’s Short Stories

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Chinese women writers made their collective debut during the male-centered May Fourth movement (1917–1921), an intellectual revolution that dismissed traditional Confucian values such as filial piety. Yet running counter to this anti-traditionalist discourse, many of them emphasized the cultural implications of filial piety, valorized family, and privileged mother-daughter relationships in their works. These writers include Bing Xin (1900–1999),1 Su Xuelin (1897–1999),2 and Feng Yuanjun (1900–1974). Feng Yuanjun in particular created heroines torn between romantic love and maternal love. Feng’s literary daughters desire to break away from their mothers to be with their male lovers but are drawn back to their ... Read More

      Abstract: The storied places do not serve you best as sites of commemoration. They are much better as sites of instruction.In April 2018, New York City officials removed a statue memorializing the so-called father of modern gynecology, J. Marion Sims, from Central Park. This triumph resulted from decades of agitation and instruction by intellectuals and activists, drawing attention to the once lesser-known but now widely vilified underpinnings of Sims’s research. While some may claim that his pioneering inventions (such as the speculum) have improved health outcomes for millions of women worldwide, all his supposed advancements were predicated upon experimenting without anesthesia on non-consenting enslaved women.3 Feminist ...

      Abstract: On 14 April 1971, one thousand Irish women convened at the Mansion House in Dublin for the first public gathering of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement (IWLM). In her book Mondays at Gaj’s: The Story of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement (2006), Anne Stopper records the events, exchanges, and debates that led to this definitive moment in Irish history, many of which took place in Gaj’s Restaurant in Dublin.1 Stopper details the lives of the movement’s founders and includes their first-hand accounts and recollections, which breathe life into the history of the IWLM. The movement’s collective actions range from the publication of their manifesto Chains or Change in 1970 to the dynamic development and execution ... Read More

      Abstract: All love that depends on a something, [when the] thing ceases, [the] love ceases; and [all love] that does not depend on anything, will never cease. What is an example of love that depended on a something' Such was the love of Amnon for Tamar. And what is an example of love that did not depend on anything' Such was the love of David and Jonathan.1“The Love that dare not speak its name” in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect.2The two quotations above ... Read More

      Abstract: I am drafting this preface during a time of transition: In January, we bid farewell to Dr. Karen Dutoi, our Managing Editor of the last thirteen years. I want to begin, therefore, by expressing my heartfelt thanks to Karen for everything she has done for the journal. All of our authors can attest to Karen’s deep care for her work, her acute sense of grammar and style, her keen eye for detail and errors in logic, and her ability to work with authors to improve even the strongest of articles. Karen has also been the mainstay of our office, training multiple generations of graduate students in the intricacies of scholarly publishing, and keeping us functioning through pandemics and times of institutional turmoil. ...

           Western Ideal by Monique McDade (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Monique McDade rightly comments that we have too few scholarly books that discuss western American women’s literature as a genre. Her book, California Dreams and American Contradictions: Women Writers and the Western Ideal, is a welcome addition to the field of western literary studies and women’s literature. Framed by discussions of Joan Didion and devoting a chapter each to María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Helen Hunt Jackson, Edith Eaton (always referred to by her pen name, Sui Sin Far), and Eva Rutland, the study discusses authors who occupy a host of subject positions and work in numerous genres, to describe how they “arrive” at the American West-—in McDade’s words, “not an easy destination to reach” (154).Women ...

  • Quantitative Literary Analysis of the Works of Aphra Behn: Words of
           Passion by Laura L. Runge (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: With the improvement of digital texts and analytical tools, early literature has increasingly been the subject of technological analysis. Laura L. Runge’s latest book, Quantitative Literary Analysis of the Works of Aphra Behn: Words of Passion, brings new technologies to bear on Aphra Behn, one of England’s most prolific and successful early writers in print. This book is highly interesting and relevant to Behn studies, but perhaps more importantly, it is also a model for how this type of work can be done, and how to address some of the difficulties that have hampered previous digital studies of early texts.Runge’s basic approach is to make the full-text versions of all of Behn’s works available on Early English ...

      Abstract: So many people have written so well about Virginia Woolf’s journalism and her essays, and about her relationship with the Victorians in general and Victorian women writers in specific, that it is hard to see how anyone could find anything new to say on these subjects. Virginia Woolf and Nineteenth-Century Women Writers: Victorian Legacies and Literary Afterlives by Anne Reus is a thoroughly researched, carefully argued book that is so full of respectful references to other scholars – the author even makes room for one in the very last paragraph – that, on the one hand, it could serve as a model for students learning to enter a scholarly conversation even as, on the other, it can sometimes be difficult to find the ...

  • Cather and Opera by David McKay Powell (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: David McKay Powell’s book, Cather and Opera, illuminates Willa Cather’s complex relationship with opera and music, a significant aspect of Cather’s artistic vision. McKay Powell gives a methodical, chronological analysis of opera’s early influence on Cather’s ethos and how she incorporates operatic tropes in her work and reflects an operatic understanding of the artist character. McKay Powell begins by noting how influential opera was on everyday American culture and in Cather’s own youth. Her occasional frustration with audience and performers’ lack of sophistication in the “opera houses” of rural America is eased by her opinion that the world’s Lucy Gayhearts and Thea Kronborgs grew in such milieus. On Cather’s ... Read More

  • Political Affairs of the Heart: Female Travel Writers, the Sentimental
           Travelogue, and Revolution, 1775–1800 by Linda Van Netten Blimke
           (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In Political Affairs of the Heart: Female Travel Writers, the Sentimental Travelogue, and Revolution, 1775–1800, Linda Van Netten Blimke makes a compelling case that the sentimental travelogue written by women in the last quarter of the eighteenth century wielded political power worthy of our attention. The author foregrounds four women writers—Janet Schaw, an anonymous Lady, Mary Morgan, and Helen Maria Williams—who engage with travel writing through the lens crafted by Laurence Sterne in his A Sentimental Journey (1768), relating their ventures and encounters in the same mode that the fictional Reverend Mr. Yorick employed in Sterne’s novel. As Van Netten Blimke traces the authors’ journeys through the West ... Read More
