Feminist periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues of major feminist journals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first publication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. U.S. subscription price(s). 4. Subscription address. 5. Current editor. 6. Editorial address (if different from subscription address). 7. International Standard Serials Number (ISSN). 8. Library of Congress (LC) catalog card number. 9. OCLC. Inc. Control Number. 10. Locations where the journal is held in the UW System. 11. Publications in which the journal is indexed. 12. Subject focus/statement of purpose of the journal. Please note that in the actual text, only the numbers 1 to 12 are used to identify the different categories of information. ii. Ourgoal is to have represented in Efall English-language feminist periodicals with a substantial national or regional readership, with an emphasis on scholarly journals and small press offerings. We do not include publications which, though feminist in philosophy, do not focus solely on women's issues. Nor, with few exceptions, do we include newsstand magazines. We are also forced to omit periodicals which lack a complete table of contents. We encourage feminist serials to build a full table of contents into their regular format to facilitate the indexing feminist literature sorely needs. Interested readers will find more complete information on feminist periodicals in The IndeXloirect0IY of Women's Media published annually by the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (3306 Ross Place, NW, Washington, DC 20008); and in Women's periodicals and Newspapers: A Union List ofthe Holdings of Madison Area Libraries. edited by James P. Danky, compiled by Maureen E. Hady, Barry Christopher, and Neill E. Strache (Boston: G.K. Hall, 1982). Suggestions for improvements of Feminist periodjcals are gratefully received. We would particularly appreciate assistance from readers in the UW-System with our efforts to keep the holding information complete and up to date.

LEVINAS AND THE NEW WOMAN WRITERS: NARRATING THE ETHICS OF ALTERITY by ANITA TURLINGTON Under the Direction of Leeanne Richardson, PhD ABSTRACT This study applies the ethical theories of Emmanuel Levinas to the novels and short stories of the major New Woman novelists of the fin de siècle in England. Chapter One introduces the study and its theoretical framework. Chapter Two discusses how New Woman writers confront their protagonists with ethical dilemmas framed as face-to-face encounters that can be read as the moment of ethics formation. They also gesture toward openness and indeterminacy through their use of carnivalesque characters. In Chapter Three, Levinas’s concepts of the said and the saying illuminate readings of polemical passages that interrogate the function of language to oppress or empower women. Chapter Four reads dreams, visions, allegories, and proems as mythic references to a golden age past that reframe the idea of feminine altruism.

    GENIUS, WOMANHOOD AND THE STATISTICAL IMAGINARY: 1890s HEREDITY THEORY IN THE BRITISH SOCIAL NOVEL by ZOE GRAY BEAVIS B.A. Hons., La Trobe University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Zoe Gray Beavis, 2014 Abstract The central argument of this thesis is that several tropes or motifs exist in social novels of the 1890s which connect them with each other in a genre, and which indicate a significant literary preoccupation with contemporary heredity theory. These tropes include sibling and twin comparison stories, the woman musician’s conflict between professionalism and domesticity, and speculation about biparental inheritance. The particulars of heredity theory with which these novels engage are consistent with the writings of Francis Galton, specifically on hereditary genius and regression theory, sibling and twin biometry, and theoretical population studies. Concurrent with the curiosity of novelists about science, was the anxiety of scientists about discursive linguistic sharing. In the thesis, I illuminate moments when science writers (Galton, August Weismann, William Bates, and Karl Pearson) acknowledged the literary process and the reading audience. I have structured the thesis around the chronological appearance of heredity themes in 1890s social novels, because I am arguing for the existence of a broader cultural curiosity about heredity themes, irrespective of authors’ primary engagement with scientific texts. Finally, I introduce the statistical imaginary as a framework for understanding human difference through populations and time, as evidenced by the construction of theoretical population samples – communities, crowds, and peer groups – in 1890s social fictions.

  • The Politics of Passion
    Feminism and the Generational Divide Feminism and the Generational Divide: An exploration of some of the debates Penelope Robinson University of Newcastle, Australia Abstract: In recent times, a generational divide has emerged within feminism with discussion often centred on the differences between Baby Boomer feminists and younger women, regularly referred to as Generation X. This paper seeks to understand the intergenerational tensions by exploring the debates as they are played out in a number of popular texts. Karl Mannheim’s theory of generation is mobilised in order to deepen our understanding of generations. His work has the potential to broaden the feminist generational debates beyond the well-worn stereotypes and offer new ways of thinking about generational discourse. Paper: What disturbs me most is the prospect of a generation gap emerging in our agenda. – Anne Summers, Letter to the Next Generation We sat at the table howling with laughter. ‘It’s a dialogue between generations,’ said Angela Z-, wiping away the tears. ‘It’s not a dialogue,’ I said, blowing my nose. ‘It’s a fucking war’. – Helen Garner, The First Stone Over the last decade, feminist discussion in Australia has often erupted into a generational battle, with Baby Boomers and Generation X engaging in a fierce debate, fraught with finger pointing, misunderstanding and stereotypes. The rift within feminism began to emerge in the mid-90s when well-known feminists lamented the direction young women were taking the women’s movement. Anne Summers (1993) conveyed her disappointment that the feminist struggles fought by her generation were not being carried into the future by young women, while Helen Garner (1995) in her book The First Stone,expressed her dismay towards two university students who filed sexual harassment complaints against their College Master with the police.

Bonnie Brennen was affiliated with SUNY at the time of publication. Sue A. La(ky and Bonnie Brennen For Better or For Worse: Coming Out in the Funny Pages Among the most significant occasions in the lives of gay men and lesbians is the one in which they realize that their sexual orientation situates them as "other." One aspect of this process, known as coming out, is the self-acknowledgement ofbeing gay or lesbian, while another aspect consists of revealing this identity to family members and friends. During her 1980s fieldwork with lesbians and gay men in San Francisco, anthropologist Kath Weston observed that "no other topic generated an emotional response comparable to coming out to blood (or adoptive) relatives" (1991, 43). She wrote: When discussion turned to the subject of straight family, it was not unusual for interviews to be interrupted by tears, rage, or a lengthy silence. "Are you out to your parents?" and "Are you out to your family?" were questions that almost inevitably arose in the process of getting to know another lesbian or gay person. ( 43) In Spring of 1993, such a "coming out" process was played out in North American newspapers through Canadian artist Lynn Johnston's syndicated comic strip, For Better or For Worse.

  • The Australian Woman Movement, 1880–1914: Sexuality, Marriage and Consent
    The Australian woman movement, 1880–1914: Sexuality, marriage and consent REBECCA PRESTON Abstract The Australian woman movement (1880–1914) played a central role in shaping contemporary sexual discourse and contributing to the eventual recognition of female sexual pleasure in Australia. While most historiography has focused on the more well-known suffrage campaigns, this essay explores feminist attempts to enhance women’s sexual autonomy through reforming existing sexual relations, particularly in marriage, and contesting contemporary medical discourse which defined male sexuality as ‘hydraulic’, namely automatically aroused, and female sexuality as ‘hysterical’. The early Australian feminists publicly challenged Victorian constructions of sexuality and sought to redefine male–female sexual relations by abolishing the double standard of sexual morality. Studying the woman movement through the lens of sexuality is important, as issues of sexuality were inextricably linked to more well- known political and economic campaigns for suffrage, citizenship and equal pay. Feminist campaigns to reform sexuality in both the public and private spheres were also central to broader political debates concerning the health and future of Australia’s population, and the declining birth and marriage rate. A study of feminist campaigns to reform domestic sexual relations, primarily through enhancing women’s autonomy in the marital bedroom, and campaigns to improve public sexual relations through regulating prostitution, raising the age of consent and reducing the occurrence of venereal disease through education, reveals the complex interactions between various sectors of colonial society, including feminist organisations, the medical profession, the Australian government, the military and religious groups. As such, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australian political and social life.

Out!: Twentieth-Century Queer Comics Some years ago I began collecting books in the area of what we would now recognize as ‘gay and lesbian studies’ and have today amassed a personal library numbering in the hundreds of books. The collection began organically—not as an effort to produce a collection per se, but to serve as a personal reference library supporting my academic writing and to compensate for haphazard and sometime overtly-homophobic library collections practices which caused many of the titles to be inaccessible to me. Reflecting my broader interests and academic training in visual culture and the history and theory of gender and sexuality, a large part of my library is devoted to gay and lesbian popular visual culture (film, photography, illustration, advertising, television, etc.) Probably its most unusual and interesting aspect is a group of books of and about queer comics.
