HAULE DNA O'BRIEN'S Mother Ireland is a book filled with memories that E move starkly between terror and pity as it explains, with the help of the haunting photographs ofFergus Bourke, why Ireland must be left and why Ireland can never be escaped. Her last statement is a remarkable ad­ mission of an entrapment at once willing and unwilling, a confession of both victory and defeat: I live out of Ireland because something in me warns me that I might stop there, that I might cease to feel what it has meant to have such a heritage, might grow placid when in fact I want yet again and for indefinable reasons to trace the same route, the trenchant childhood route, in the hope of finding some clue that will, or would, or could, make the leap that would restore one to one's original place and state of consciousness, to the radical innocence of the moment just before birth.

  • The Family and Business Leadership of Rebecca Lukens Judith Scheffler West Chester University
    " . there was difficulty and danger on every side": The Family and Business Leadership of Rebecca Lukens Judith Scheffler West Chester University Rebecca Webb Pennock Lukens (1794-1854) was one of the most pow- erful and successful businesswomen of the antebellum period. A legend de- scribes how Lukens, suddenly widowed at age thirty-one, saved the ironworks her husband had been struggling to establish. After Charles Lukens' death in 1825, as the story goes, the workmen were beginning to desert the business and head off down the road to find more secure employment, when Rebecca Lukens ran out to call them back, begging them to remain and promising that she would stand by them. They returned, accepted the risk of working for a female-run ironworks, and eventually reaped the benefits. Like most legends, this story is vivid, memorable, and historically undocumented.' Also like most legends, it reinforces an established image of the life and times of an excep- tional historical figure. In this case it highlights the anomaly of a woman who dared to step outside her place and succeeded, thus supporting the view that separate spheres of domesticity and business characterized nineteenth-century society. The image is attractive and the story beguiling, but this view of Rebecca Lukens' life is romanticized and distorted. Why, then, is Rebecca Lukens remembered? Her achievement was, in- deed, remarkable in several respects. Her Brandywine Iron Works became Lukens Steel, until recently a Fortune 500 company, located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. In 1998 it merged with Bethlehem Steel to form Bethlehem- Lukens Plate.2 Founded in 1810 by her father, Isaac Pennock, this business was managed for 125 years by Rebecca Lukens' descendants, whose stated goal was "to make money honorably with the best product .

Remarkable Russian Women in Pictures, Prose and Poetry N Marcelline Hutton Many Russian women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries tried to find happy marriages, authentic religious life, liberal education, and ful- filling work as artists, doctors, teachers, and political activists. Some very remarkable ones found these things in varying degrees, while oth- ers sought unsuccessfully but no less desperately to transcend the genera- tions-old restrictions imposed by church, state, village, class, and gender. Like a Slavic “Downton Abbey,” this book tells the stories, not just of their outward lives, but of their hearts and minds, their voices and dreams, their amazing accomplishments against overwhelming odds, and their roles as feminists and avant-gardists in shaping modern Russia and, in- deed, the twentieth century in the West.

  • A ROOM of ONES OWN [* This Essay Is Based Upon Two Papers Read To
    A ROOM OF ONES OWN [* This essay is based upon two papers read to the Arts Society at Newnharn and the Odtaa at Girton in October 1928. The papers were too long to be read in full, and have since been altered and expanded.] ONE But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction--what, has that got to do with a room of one's own? I will try to explain. When you asked me to speak about women and fiction I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney; a few more about Jane Austen; a tribute to the Brontës and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow; some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford; a respectful allusion to George Eliot; a reference to Mrs Gaskell and one would have done. But at second sight the words seemed not so simple. The title women and fiction might mean, and you may have meant it to mean, women and what they are like, or it might mean women and the fiction that they write; or it might mean women and the fiction that is written about them, or it might mean that somehow all three are inextricably mixed together and you want me to consider them in that light. But when I began to consider the subject in this last way, which seemed the most interesting, I soon saw that it had one fatal drawback. I should never be able to come to a conclusion.

Copyright, 1914, 1916, 1919, by The Atlantic Monthly Co. PART I OF WAR-TIME I THE GREY ANGEL Her predilection for things French came from childish recollections of school-days in Paris, and a hasty removal thence by her father during the revolution of '48, of later travels as a little maiden, by diligence, to Pau and the then undiscovered Pyrenees, to a Montpellier and a Nice as yet unspoiled. Unto her seventy-eighth year, her French accent had remained unruffled, her soul in love with French gloves and dresses; and her face had the pale, unwrinkled, slightly aquiline perfection of the 'French marquise' type—it may, perhaps, be doubted whether any French marquise ever looked the part so perfectly. How it came about that she had settled down in a southern French town, in the summer of 1914, only her roving spirit knew. She had been a widow ten years, which she had passed in the quest of perfection; all her life she had been haunted by that instinct, half-smothered in ministering to her husband, children, and establishments in London and the country. Now, in loneliness, the intrinsic independence of her soul [Pg 4]was able to assert itself, and from hotel to hotel she had wandered in England, Wales, Switzerland, France, till now she had found what seemingly arrested her.

  • Decolonizing the Histories of Helen Hunt Jackson and Gertrude Simmons Bonnin
    DECOLONIZING THE HISTORIES OF HELEN HUNT JACKSON AND GERTRUDE SIMMONS BONNIN by BARBARA R. BILEK A thesis submitted to the graduate faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY/MUSEUM STUDIES University of Central Oklahoma Spring 2013 Abstract What is decolonization and how does it work? The concept of decolonization surfaced during “the global Indigenous activism in the 1970s.”1 Although the idea is not new, it has been given little attention by mainstream historians. A discussion of the meaning of decolonization begins with an understanding that colonization means to settle in a colony or colonies. For example, England and Spain began establishing colonies on the lands of the Indigenous Nations of the Americas in the 16th and 17th centuries. Thus, the United States began as a loosely united group of colonies making decolonization a logical consequence. As such, decolonization means to remove or mitigate the consequences of colonization. According to Susan A. Miller (Seminole), “decolonization is a process designed to shed and recover from the ill effects of colonization.”2 In this thesis, I utilize case studies of two women to demonstrate how decolonizing history using an Indigenous lens can construct a more comprehensive history and produce a distinct narrative from a Native American perspective. I argue using this methodology recasts the activism of Helen Hunt Jackson and Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Yankton Nakota) as the progenitor to modern Native American rights movements. The political activism of Jackson and Bonnin resides within literary journals shadowed by analyses of their fiction and poetry.

  • Corporeality and the Supernatural on the Gothic Stage, 1786 - 1836
    “With Clotted Locks and Eyes Like Burning Stars”: Corporeality and the Supernatural on the Gothic Stage, 1786 - 1836 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher T. Matsos, M.F.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Lesley Ferris, Advisor Dr. Beth Kattelman Dr. Virginia Cope Copyright by Christopher T. Matsos 2010 Abstract For a period of approximately fifty years in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the British stage was dominated by Gothic drama. Like the Gothic novels whose popularity flourished in the same historical moment, Gothic drama was characterized by its attempt to evoke an atmosphere of mystery, suspense, and terror through the employment of any combination of particular appurtenances: foreboding medieval landscapes; ruined Gothic castles riddled with hidden chambers; a tormented, menacing, yet engaging villain; an innocent, "Enlightened" maiden who is the subject of his advances; an ineffectual if not emasculated hero; a secret whose truth has critical ramifications on the present. Perhaps most commonly associated with the term “Gothic” is the implicit or explicit presence of the supernatural. However, Gothic drama in its original form did not necessitate supernatural manifestations. What, therefore, inspired Gothic playwrights to defy the threat of censorship and test the public‟s willingness to suspend its disbelief by persistently conjuring such entities upon London‟s stages? Gothic drama, obsessed with death and the unknown, originated and attained the height of its importance and popularity in Britain in a moment ii marked by tremendous external and internal pressures, an unprecedented string of social developments, and scientific and industrial innovations.
