Download or read book Homemaking written by Catherine Wiley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. The present volume, Homemaking: Women Writers and the Politics and Poetics of Home, enters the critical discourse on gender by way of two of its most pressing issues: the politics of women’s locations at the end of the twentieth century, and the division of experience into public and private. That the emergence of systematic feminist thought in the west coincided with the invention of "private life" should not surprise us. Feminist thinkers from Mary Wollstonecroft on were quick to realize that the designation of the public and the private, male and female, was key to the subordination of women.

Book excerpt: Both novels explore women writers' relation to literary and cultural traditions as they write their way out of dispossession into inheritance. "Howells attempts "to track down lost mothers by showing the relationship of these two novels to female literary traditions...." Miss Peabody feels "disinherited" in England "and her search for a lost mother is an index of her own gendered sense of unbelonging." Miss Peabody shares with Diana Hopewell a "female sensibility toward landscape as an image of psychic freedom."

Download or read book Rewriting God written by Elaine Lindsay and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are rarely if ever mentioned in commentaries upon Australian Christianity and spirituality. Only exceptional women are recognized as authorities on religious matters. Why is this so? Does it matter? Don't people from the same religious tradition share similar experiences of the divine, regardless of their gender? Rewriting God asks whether women have been writing about the divine and whether their insights are different from those contained in malestream accounts of Australian Christianity and spirituality. An analysis of the writings of popular theologians and religious commentators over the last twenty years suggests that the most popular form of spirituality among Australian theologians is Desert Spirituality. An analysis of women's autobiographical writings, however, suggests that the desert is irrelevant to many women's spiritual experiences. This book, through a close investigation of the fictions of Thea Astley, Elizabeth Jolley and Barbara Hanrahan, attempts to posit alternative forms of women's spirituality and to signal ways in which this spirituality is already being expressed. From the evidence gathered here, it becomes obvious that traditional expressions of Australian Christianity and spirituality are gender-specific and that they have functioned to deny women's religious experiences and to silence their claims to equality in the sight and service of the divine. It becomes obvious, too, that women have been developing their own forms of religious expression and that these may be expected to supplant gradually withering images of Desert Spirituality. Whether this new imagery will strengthen Australian Christianity or whether it merely marks a decline in the authority of Christianity remains a moot point.
