  • Writing the Bicycle
    Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Jane Danielewicz Jordynn Jack Daniel Anderson Jane Thrailkill Beverly Taylor ABSTRACT Sarah Overbaugh Hallenbeck Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Late Nineteenth-Century America (Under the direction of Jane Danielewicz and Jordynn Jack) This project examines the intersections among rhetoric, gender, and technology, examining in particular the ways that American women appropriated the new technology of the bicycle at the turn of the twentieth century. It asks: how are technologies shaped by discourse that emanates both from within and beyond professional boundaries? In what ways do technologies, in turn, reshape the social networks in which they emerge—making available new arguments and rendering others less persuasive? And to what extent are these arguments furthered by the changed conditions of embodiment and materiality that new technologies often initiate? Writing the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric and Technology in Late Nineteenth- Century America addresses these questions by considering how women’s interactions with the bicycle allowed them to make new claims about their minds and bodies, and transformed the gender order in the process. The introduction, “Rhetoric, Gender, Technology,” provides an overview of the three broad conversations to which the project primarily contributes: science and technology studies, feminist historiography, and rhetorical theory. In addition, it outlines a “techno-feminist” materialist methodology that emphasizes the material ii and rhetorical agency of users in shaping technologies beyond their initial design and distribution phases.

  • The Women Outdoors Condensed Bibliography the “Best” Books Recommended by Jan Brown Revised February 2009
    The Women Outdoors Condensed Bibliography The “Best” Books Recommended by Jan Brown Revised February 2009 This bibliography is a listing of the books I've most enjoyed from over 1000 books reviewed in the Women Outdoors Bibliography. Because I've found that I disagree with many other reviewers, I'll state my biases! The “best” books are well written and the women are competent, generally optimistic and uncomplaining, and interested and empathetic with the people and cultures they meet. They are not unaware of their inner feelings, but don't make introspection the focus of their writings. Ackerman, Diane. The Moon by Whale Light, Random House, 1991. Excellent essays about bats, alligators, whales and penguins, the latter on a World Discoverer cruise to Antarctica. Ackerman, Diane. Cultivating Delight: A Natural History of My Garden, Harper Collins, 2001. A lyrical description of her garden in upstate NY though the seasons. Adamson, Joy. Born Free, Pantheon, 1960, Random House 1974 Raising the cub Elsa to maturity and successfully supporting her return to wild living. Wonderful photos of Elsa's behavior and relationships. Aebi, Tania with Bernadette Brennan. Maiden Voyage, Ballantine, 1989 Thrilling account of 2 ½ year solo sail around the world by a girl who was only 18 when she started. She reflects on her chaotic childhood, meets many helpful men (and a lover) and describes numerous locales very well, especially the South Pacific and Mid East. Allison, Stacy with Peter Carlin. Beyond the Limits: A Woman's Triumph on Everest, Little Brown, 1993. Excellent autobiography of the first American woman to climb Everest including her climbing history and personal life.

  • New Women and the Bicycle Around the Turn of the Twentieth Century Audrey Lopez
    Winds of Change: New Women and the Bicycle around the Turn of the Twentieth Century Audrey Lopez Introduction In 1893, Frances Willard, famed temperance reformer and suffragist, felt the wind in her face for the very first time on the seat of a safety bicycle.1 Before the bicycle, women were prisoners in their own homes and bodies, their identities were tied to the domestic realm. The bicycle first emerged in America during the nineteenth century. Anxieties about the bicycle arose out of tensions of the changing roles of women yet there were little anxieties expressed bout men riding bicycles. The New Woman was a cultural phenomenon that transformed British and American culture from the 1890s through the 1910s. New Women were dedicated to different types of independence. However, the stereotypical American New Woman was white, college educated, and often sought jobs that advance women’s equality.2 Also, the New Woman outspoken and assertive relentlessly fought women’s economic autonomy through the right to vote while prioritizing “intellectual or artistic aspirations over domestic concerns— which earned her both scorn and praise in the popular press.”3 Much of the cultural comment focused on the New Woman and the bicycle. In the era of technological modernity from 1890- 1900, New Women seized the opportunity to ascribe individuality to a mass produced object such as the bicycle in order to spread the idea of equality for women to the masses. New Women’s belief in gender equality, independence and increased mobility out of the home had a major effect on women’s self- concept.

  • 1 Risky Enterprise: Stunts and Value in Public Life of Late Nineteenth-Century New York
    1 Risky Enterprise: Stunts and value in public life of late nineteenth-century New York Kirstin Smith Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Abstract This thesis analyses stunts in the public life of late nineteenth-century New York, where ‘stunt’ developed as a slang term. Addressing stunts as a performative and discursive practice, I investigate stunts in popular newspapers, sports, politics and protest and, to a lesser extent, theatre and film. Each chapter focuses on one form of stunt: bridge jumping, extreme walking contests, a new genre of reporting called ‘stunt journalism’, and cycling feats. Joseph Pulitzer’s popular newspaper, the World, is the primary research archive, supported by analysis of other newspapers and periodicals, vaudeville scripts, films, manuals and works of fiction. The driving question is: how did stunts in public life enact conceptions of value? I contextualise stunts in a ‘crisis of value’ concerning industrialisation, secularisation, recessions, the currency crisis, increased entry of women into remunerative work, immigration, and racialised anxieties about consumption and degeneration. I examine the ways in which ‘stunt’ connotes devaluation, suggesting a degraded form of politics, art or sport, and examine how such cultural hierarchies intersect with gender, race and class. The critical framework draws on Theatre and Performance Studies theorisations of precarity and liveness. I argue that stunts aestheticised everyday precarity and made it visible, raising ethical questions about the value of human life and death, and the increasingly interdependent nature of urban society. Stunts took entrepreneurial idealisations of risk and autoproduction to extreme, constructing identity as commodity.
