Examining the works of such writers as James, Mary Shelley, and the Brontës, this book argues that the source of Gothic terror is actually a double fear of separateness and unity that has had special significance for women writers and readers.

A Feminist Study of Nineteenth-century Gothic

Perils of the Night

Voltairine De Cleyre

This book considers de Cleyre's speeches, letters, and essays, including her most well known essay, "Sex slavery". Pt I brings current critical concerns to bear on de Cleyre's writings, exploring her contributions to the anarchist movement, her analysis of justice and violence, and her views on women, sexuality, and the body. Eugenia DeLamotte demonstrates both de Cleyre's literary significance and the importance of her work to feminist theory, women's studies, literary and cultural studies, U.S. history, and contemporary social and cultural analysis. Pt II presents a thematically organized selection of de Cleyre's writings.

Gates of Freedom

Jean F. O'Barr

Here, for the first time, is a collection of women's writings from all over the world, across a span of twenty-six hundred years, which speaks to the ways women have resisted oppression and the methods they have found to gain power over their lives.

A Global Anthology of Women's Resistance from 600 B.C.E. to Present

Women Imagine Change

This global, multicultural anthology shows how women from some thirty countries, across twenty-six centuries, have found ways to resist oppression and gain power over their lives. Organized around themes of concern to contemporary readers, Women Imagine Change explores: relationships between women's sexuality and spirituality; women's interlinked struggles to control their labor and education; their work reshaping representations of gender; and their varied translations of knowledge into power. Extensive introductions combine a broad theoretical perspective on gender and resistance with vivid biographical context. Not only do the writings show women's resistance from an historical perspective; they also offer crucial insight into questions women are posing today about the relationships between their own power, the power of the various groups to which they belong, and the larger systems of power they confront in the world around them.

Places of Silence, Journeys of Freedom is the first study of Paule Marshall's work to focus explicitly on her contribution to feminism. It is also the first to identify one of' her original contributions to narrative art.
