Download or read book The Poetry of American Women from 1632 to 1945 written by Emily Stipes Watts and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American women have created an especially vigorous and innovative poetry, beginning in 1632 when Anne Bradstreet set aside her needle and picked up her "poet's pen." The topics of American women poets have been various, their images their own, and their modes of expression original. Emily Stipes Watts does not imply that the work of American men and that of American women are two different kinds of poetry, although they have been treated as such in the past. It is her aim, rather, to delineate and define the poetic tradition of women as crucial to the understanding of American poetry as a whole. By 1850, American women of all colors, religions, and social classes were writing and publishing poetry. Within the critical category of "female poetry," developed from 1800 to 1850, these women experimented boldly and prepared the way for the achievement of such women as Emily Dickinson in the second half of the nineteenth century. Indeed at times—for example from 1860 through 1910—it was women who were at the outer edge of prosodic experimentation and innovation in American poetry. Moving chronologically, Professor Watts broadly characterizes the state of American poetry for each period, citing the dominant male poets; she then focuses on women contemporaries, singling out and analyzing their best work. This volume not only brings to light several important women poets but also represents the discovery of a tradition of women writers. This is a unique and invaluable contribution to the history of American literature.

Download or read book The Politics of Women s Studies written by Florence Howe and published by The Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true stories of those bold women who espoused feminism in the world of academia and forever changed our educational system and culture. In the patriarchal halls of 1970s academe, women who spoke their minds risked their careers. Yet intrepid women—students, faculty, administrators, members of the community—persisted in collaborating on women’s studies programs. In doing so, they created a movement that altered paradigms, curricula, teaching styles, and content across disciplines. In these original essays “we hear the voices of feminists exhilarated by the opportunities and challenges of creating women’s studies programs in American colleges and universities, nurtured by the women’s movement of the 1970s,” from young graduate students and newly hired faculty to tenured professors in search of ways to improve their students’ capacities to learn, veteran academics at last witnessing change, and even a few administrators (Library Journal). In all of these programs, these “founding mothers” grappled not only with issues of gender, but with those of class, race, and sexuality in a decade infused with political unrest and questioning, when civil rights and anti-war activism, as well as feminism, shaped academic worlds.
Download or read book The Berkeley Literary Women s Revolution written by Marsha Hudson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even during the late 1960s, academia remained largely the province of men. That began to change at the University of California at Berkeley in 1969, when Marsha Hudson posted notices across campus proposing a feminist literary salon. The purpose was to discuss women's literature: a few female writers received passing notice in the classroom, but the multitude was either ignored or forgotten. The informal gatherings continued for years, growing into an activist movement that established the first Women's Studies major at Berkeley; helped produce the first major anthologies of women's poetry; and fought for equality and recognition in every corner of the education system. They risked their academic futures in the process, but the efforts of those women and others helped change the face and shape of higher learning forever. These 16 essays were written by members of Marsha's Salon and its successors, the Comparative Literature Women's Caucus, a group of female graduate students at UC-Berkeley organized in 1969 by Marsha Hudson. The group met for years, and helped lead the charge to bring sexual equality to all facets of education. These annotated essays recount the atmosphere of the time that made change necessary, the upheaval brought about by the feminist revolution in education, the direction that the movement took, and the current state of feminist learning in academia. An appendix features period letters and documents from group members (regarding the need for changes at Berkeley) as well as statistical information about women's studies and related subjects.

Download or read book A List written by Jay Carr and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People love movies. People love lists. So The A-List is a natural. While there are plenty of encyclopedic lists of films, this compulsively readable book of 100 essays -- most written expressly for this volume-flags the best of the best as chosen by a consensus of the National Society of Film Critics. The Society is a world-renowned, marquee -- name organization embracing some of America's most distinguished critics: more than forty writers who have national followings as well as devoted local constituencies in such major cities as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Minneapolis. But make no mistake about it: This isn't a collection of esoteric "critic's choice" movies. The Society has made its selections based on a film's intrinsic merits, its role in the development of the motion-picture art, and its impact on culture and society. Some of the choices are controversial. So are some of the omissions. It will be a jumping-off point for discussions for years to come. And since the volume spans all international films from the very beginning, it will act as a balance to recent guides dominated by films of the last two decades (hardly film's golden age). Here is a book that is definitely ready for its close-up.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pushes beyond modern/postmodern dichotomies to show how Robert Bly and Adrienne Rich, two of America's most prominent poets, engage in a process that is both dialectic and holotropic as they continually create - through doubling - fuller and more fluid self-identity. Ultimately, their use of alter-selves to deepen their subjectivity and transform otherness expands their voice and vision, culminating late in their careers in a polyphony of self. Bridging literary scholarship and writing pedagogy, this book concludes by illustrating how the two poets' writing practices offer invigorating models and departure points for writing students in contemporary literature and composition classrooms.
