Frontiers Of Femininity : A New Historical Geography Of The Nineteenth-century American West

Attribution
Karen M. MorinPublication Details
Book1st edSyracuse University Press2008Description
With a rare degree of clarity the author examines relationships among nineteenth-century American expansionism, discourses about gender, and writings of women who traveled and lived in the American West in the late nineteenth century — British travelers, American journalists, a Native American tribal leader, and female naturalists. Drawing from a rich diversity of primary sources, from published travelogues and unpublished archival sources such as letters and diaries to newspaper reportage, Morin considers ways in which women’s writing was influenced by the material circumstances of travel in addition to the various social norms that circumscribed female roles.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Feminist As Thinker : A Reader In Documents And Essays

Attribution
edited by Ellen Carol DuBois and Richard Cándida SmithPublication Details
BookNew York University Press2007Links
Description
In spite of this celebrity, Stanton’s intellectual contributions have been largely overshadowed by the focus on her political activities, and she is yet to be recognized as one of the major thinkers of the nineteenth century. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Feminist as Thinker reintroduces, contextualizes, and critiques Stanton’s numerous contributions to modern thought. It juxtaposes a selection of Stanton’s own writings, many of them previously unavailable, with eight original essays by prominent historians and social theorists interrogating Stanton’s views on such pressing social issues as religion, marriage, race, the self and community, and her place among leading nineteenth century feminist thinkers.

Attribution
Janet ToddPublication Details
BookCounterpoint2007Description
Little contemporary information was written about Fanny Wollstonecraft, whose mother Mary Wollstonecraft’s scandalous life scarred Fanny’s possibilities before she was even born. Her infatuation was quickly shattered when Shelley, like so many before him, chose the company of her sister instead, and though Fanny bore this rejection bravely, she was never quite the same after Mary and Shelley eloped along with her step-sister Claire–who would later track down and seduce Lord Byron.
