Bluestockings Now! (eBook, PDF)

The Evolution of a Social Role
Redaktion: Heller, Deborah

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging the theory that the Bluestockings spanned only the period from the 1750s through the 1790s, this collection argues for a new vision of the Bluestockings as belonging to a chain of interconnected networks that can be traced from the early eighteenth century to the present. The contributors explore the activities of the Bluestockings in a variety of cultural and social realms, trace their influence through the nineteenth century, and propose that Bluestocking practice be reinvented in the present.
