McCord as a writer and polemicist on women’s rights in the antebellum South? Why did she, a conservative intellectual, use the term “feminist” in 1852? Historians of the nineteenth century Woman’s Rights Movement have paid McCord little attention because of her geographic location–she lived in South Carolina–and her conservative opinions. Her attitudes, which were conventional for her era, put her outside the interest of women’s studies until recently. This dissertation provides a new analysis of Louisa S. McCord’s work and argues the historical significance of her ideas about the Woman’s Rights Movement of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, this dissertation is particularly interested in McCord’s use of the word “feminist.” In the course of critiquing female reformer Elizabeth Oakes Smith, McCord may have been the first person to use the term “feminist” in print. This study adds to the collective knowledge of women’s history by shining a light on the impact of McCord’s ideas. This study is an interdisciplinary one, utilizing both sociology and women’s history in studying the social system of the antebellum South. This dissertation examines the gendered aspects of the South’s social class structure by analyzing McCord’s published essays on women’s rights. An analysis of non-fiction nineteenth-century periodical literature provided the foundational sources for this work. In addition, letters and legal documents gave insight into the personal life of this intriguing woman. viii INTRODUCTION In the mid-1980s, the combined work of historians Steven Hause, Karen Offen and Nancy Cott led to an understanding that the words “feminism” and “feminist” originated in France in the 1880s, spread to England in the 1890s, and arrived in America in the 1900s (France England America). However, research into periodicals from the 1890s to 1920s has since revealed the terms in American magazine articles from the 1890s. By researching the word “feminist” in ProQuest’s American

  • Feminism? International Women's Rights Congresses at the Paris
    ‘International’ Feminism? International Women’s Rights Congresses at the Paris World Exhibitions, 1878 – 1900 By Lauren Stephens Submitted to the department of Gender Studies Central European University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of European Master in Women’s and Gender History Supervisor: Francisca de Haan, Central European University Second Reader: Marianne Thivend, Université Lumière Lyon 2 Budapest, Hungary 2014 CEU eTD Collection Lauren Stephens „International‟ Feminism? MA Matilda: Women‟s and Gender History Supervisor: Francisca de Haan Abstract The 1878 International Congress of the Rights of Women, the 1889 French and International Congress of the Rights of Women and the 1900 International Congress of the Condition and Rights of Women took place during the third, fourth and fifth World Exhibitions held in Paris. Their organisers combined a trend for international social movements with a new way to address the priorities of the French women‟s movement. This thesis is based upon a close analytical reading of the discussions and resolutions of each of these congresses and their reports in contemporary newspapers Le Figaro, Le Gaulois, Journal des Débats Politiques et Littéraires and La Presse. It seeks to interpret the feminism articulated by contributors and organisers of these congresses within their context as features of a new internationalist fashion during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This thesis argues, firstly, that the organisers of these events sought to use the new fashion for international social movements to highlight the validity of their claims for women‟s rights. This was intended to help convince French politicians, intellectuals and writers of the need for legal changes in women‟s status.

This volume, the first translation and study of He-Yin’s work in English, critically reconstructs early twenti- eth-century Chinese feminist thought in a transnational context by juxtaposing He-Yin The Bir Zhen’s writing against works by two better- known male interlocutors of her time. The editors begin with a detailed analysis of He-Yin Zhen’s life and thought. They then present annotated translations of six of her major essays, as well as two foundational “The Birth of Chinese Feminism not only sheds light T on the unique vision of a remarkable turn-of- tracts by her male contemporaries, Jin h of Chinese the century radical thinker but also, in so Tianhe (1874–1947) and Liang Qichao doing, provides a fresh lens through which to (1873–1929), to which He-Yin’s work examine one of the most fascinating and com- responds and with which it engages.

  • 1 Chapter 12 'THINKING MINDS of BOTH SEXES': Patriotism, British Bluestockings and the Wars Against Revolutionary America An
    1 Chapter 12 ‘THINKING MINDS OF BOTH SEXES’: Patriotism, British Bluestockings and the Wars against Revolutionary America and France, 1775-1802 Emma V. Macleod ‘Without intending it, I have slid into politics’, wrote the poet Anna Seward at the end of a long letter to a regular correspondent, Colonel Dowdeswell of Shrewsbury, in November 1797. ‘In a period so momentous,’ she explained, ‘their attraction, to thinking minds of both sexes, is resistless.’1 This quotation might suggest that Seward had forgotten herself temporarily to make a brief aside which touched on some political question. In fact, her whole letter had been devoted to discussing the war against revolutionary France—her enjoyment of a concert in Birmingham given to celebrate Admiral Duncan’s victory at Camperdown the previous month; the civility of the eighty French prisoners of war exiled in her home town of Lichfield in Staffordshire for the past ten months; the prisoners’ inhospitable reception by most of the other residents of Lichfield and their recent removal to Liverpool jail; her musing on the sufferings of British prisoners of war in France; the miseries and evils of war in general; and the prejudice and corruption of the Pitt administration in its refusal to seek peace with France sooner. The ‘slide’ into 2 politics that she mentions therefore represents no momentary lapse, but rather a natural shift from describing her experience, as a genteel woman, of the British homefront during the war against revolutionary France—through appropriately feminine expressions of anxiety about British prisoners and the horrors of war—to clearly political judgement regarding the errors of government policy.

  • Searching for the True Women's Writing
    "SPLITTING OPEN THE WORLD" - SEARCHING FOR THE TRUE WOMEN'S WRITING BY JENNIFER DONOVAN A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Honours). Department of Sociology University of New South Wales February, 1991 SYNOPSIS This thesis explores the contention presented by the so-called French feminists (including Irigaray, Kristeva, and especially Cixous) that the situation of women cannot change until they have their own discourse and that women's writing must be based in their bodies. The purpose of "l'ecriture feminine", these writers claim, 1s to inscribe difference, to awaken women to one another, and to undermine patriarchy. My ambition was to find actual examples of this "ecriture feminine", and evidence of its effects. In attempting to deal with the abstruseness of much of the writing by the French women who encourage women to celebrate the difference and "write the body", I have briefly indicated some points of contact and divergence between Anglo-American feminists and the French. I have also described the persistent patriarchal obstruction to women's writing in order to highlight the revolutionary potential of writing the body. I examined writing by women who were variously woman­ identified, feminist and anti-feminist. I also considered various styles of women's writing, particularly poetry, which seemed to approach most closely the discourse envisaged by the French theorists. The writers discussed include Tillie Olsen, Marge Piercy, Christina Stead, Adrienne Rich, Mary Daly, Susan Griffin and others. ACKNOWIEDGEMENTS This thesis owes its existence to the energies of many people other than just the author.

    © 2020 Stefan Dmytro Kosovych NOURISHING THE POLITICAL BODY: BANQUETS IN EARLY THIRD REPUBLIC FRANCE, 1878 – 1914 BY STEFAN DMYTRO KOSOVYCH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Mark S. Micale, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Tamara Chaplin Professor Maria Todorova Professor Jean-Philippe R. Mathy ABSTRACT The most pressing issues of the day in France and in Europe – the place of workers in society, women’s rights, republicanism versus monarchy as the form of government, and expansion of the French empire – were advanced at banquets, ritualized gatherings over food and drink. Drawing on the key historical success of banquets as a means of political mobilization during the prelude to the Revolution of 1848, socialists/anarchists, royalists, imperialists, and feminists turned to the banquet to strengthen their political agendas during early Third Republic France. In Nourishing the Political Body: Banquets in Early Third Republic France, 1878 – 1914, I argue that banquets became a critical site for the construction of political and cultural power and identity by creating distinctive, tightly-knit communities that bolstered a diverse array of causes across the entire political landscape. Using police reports, government documents, accounts of banquet proceedings, newspaper articles, letters, and memoirs, my dissertation analyzes four prominent genres of banquets during late nineteenth and early twentieth-century France: commemorations of the Paris Commune, royalist, empire, and feminist. At these events, different political groups promoted specific agendas that were always ideological, oftentimes subversive, and even revolutionary.

  • Lesbian Lives and Rights in Chatelaine
    From No Go to No Logo: Lesbian Lives and Rights in Chatelaine Barbara M. Freeman Carleton University Abstract: This study is a feminist cultural and critical analysis of articles about lesbians and their rights that appeared in Chatelaine magazine between 1966 and 2004. It explores the historical progression of their media representation, from an era when lesbians were pitied and barely tolerated, through a period when their struggles for their legal rights became paramount, to the turn of the present cen- tury when they were displaced by post-modern fashion statements about the “flu- idity” of sexual orientation, and stripped of their identity politics. These shifts in media representation have had as much to do with marketing the magazine as with its liberal editors’ attempts to deal with lesbian lives and rights in ways that would appeal to readers. At the heart of this overview is a challenge to both the media and academia to reclaim lesbians in all their diversity in their real histori- cal and contemporary contexts. Résumé : Cette étude propose une analyse critique et culturelle féministe d’ar- ticles publiés dans le magazine Châtelaine entre 1966 et 2004, qui traitent des droits des lesbiennes. Elle explore l’évolution historique de leur représentation dans les médias, de l’époque où les lesbiennes étaient tout juste tolérées, à une période où leur lutte pour leurs droits légaux devint prépondérante, jusqu’au tournant de ce siècle où elles ont été dépouillées de leur politique identitaire et « déplacées » par des éditoriaux postmodernes de la mode sur la « fluidité » de leur orientation sexuelle.

  • Women and Feminism in the Literary History of Early-Twentieth-Century China 1
    Notes Introduction: Women and Feminism in the Literary History of Early-Twentieth-Century China 1. These various renderings of “feminism” can be found in texts from the period covered in this study. While often used interchangeably, they carry slightly dif- ferent connotations. 2. In addition to calling for a radical transformation of Confucian social mores and values prejudicial to women, early feminists also demanded concrete recognition of women’s social and political rights. Prominent among these were the eradication of foot binding, equal rights in inheritance, access to edu- cation and the professions, marital freedoms, including the right to choose one’s own partner and to divorce, the right to vote and be elected to public office, and the abolition of the practice of child-brides, concubinage, and prostitution. 3.
