In recent years some of the most challenging work in the field has deconstructed the processes by which women’s history is ‘made’, in every sense of the word, and how women have been represented in the historical record. This has meant reconsidering not only those areas in which women have challenged men’s claim to own the spatial and intellectual terrain, but also the means – discursive or visual - by which women have been constructed and constricted. The purpose of this conference is to bring together the great variety of work being done in this area. Strands may cover: Hearth and Home Nation and Identity Travel and Empire Mapping the Female Body Science, Medicine and Technology Schools Intellectual and Cultural Terrains Workplace Sexuality The Socio-Political Sphere Urban Space/Rural Space Health and Healing (Other topics will be considered, but please ensure that they relate to the conference theme). -

Kempf KEMPF-- 1 SHARED LIVES: WOMEN WHO WROTE FOR WOMEN A STUDY OF FOUR FEMALE AUTHORS: JANET LAMBERT, GEORGETTE HEYER, FRANCES PARKINSON KEYES, AND INEZ HAYNES GILLMORE IRWIN BY ANDREA CARON KEMPF I. INTRODUCTION This is a study of women who wrote fiction for women. It is an attempt to locate the points where their lives and works converged and to discover what messages implicit, explicit, and subliminal, were broadcast to the readers at those intersections. It is, simply, a very personal examination of the lives and works of four fascinating women whose fiction, for one reason or another, has mattered to me. In addition, it is not a judgmental study of women‟s fiction. It is a given that tens of millions of American women read pulp fiction every year. Janice Radway, in her wonderful and very academically sound book, Reading the Romance, has thoroughly examined the nature of romance fiction and the act of reading it; and many other scholars of popular culture Kempf KEMPF-- 2 and women‟s issues have drawn their own conclusions about the role of romance fiction in women‟s lives. -

Heyer’s Heroes An Investigation into Georgette Heyer and Her Literary ‘Mark’ on the Regency Hero A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English at the University of Waikato, New Zealand by Celeste R. Warner Abstract Georgette Heyer, a writer most famous for her Regency romances, has not entered the portals of any literary canon, yet her writing has had an impact on the literary world in terms of her contribution to popular fiction. The body of Scholarship on Georgette Heyer is not large and this thesis seeks to contribute to and extend previous research through an analysis of her heroes, in particular, the Regency hero. This investigation into her heroes reveals that Heyer was influenced by the heroes of both literary and popular writers and, in turn, helped to create a new genre of romantic hero. -
