Working Girls: Fiction, Sexuality, and Modernity investigates the significance of a new form of sexual identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. Young women of the lower-middle and working classes were increasingly abandoning domestic service in favour of occupations of contested propriety. They inspired both moral unease and erotic fascination. Working Girls considers representations of four highly glamorised yet controversial types of women worker: telegraphists and typists (in newly-feminised offices), shop assistants (in the new department stores), and barmaids (in the new 'gin palaces' of major British cities). Economically emancipated (more or less) and liberated (more or less) from the protection and constraints of home and family, shop-girls, barmaids, typists, and telegraphists became mass media sensations. They energised a wide range of late-Victorian and Modernist fiction. This study will bring late-Victorian and Modernist British writers into intimate conversation with a substantial new archive of ephemeral sources often regarded as remote from high art and its concerns: popular fiction; music hall and musical comedy; beauty pageants and fairground exhibitions; visual art and early film; careers manuals; magazine and periodical journalism; moral reform crusades, Royal Commissions, and attempts at protective legislation. Working Girls argues that these seductive yet perilous young women helped writers negotiate anxieties about the state of literary culture in the United Kingdom. Crucially, they preoccupy novelists who were themselves beleaguered by anxieties over cultural capital, the shifting pressures of the literary marketplace, or controversies about the morality of fiction (often leading to the threat of censorship). In articulating questions about sexual integrity, Working Girls articulate often submerged questions about textual integrity and the role of the modern novel.

This book examines late nineteenth-century feminism in relation to technologies of the time, marking the crucial role of technology in social and literary struggles for equality. The New Woman, the fin de siecle cultural archetype of early feminism, became the focal figure for key nineteenth-century debates concerning issues such as gender and sexuality, evolution and degeneration, science, empire and modernity. While the New Woman is located in the debates concerning the 'crisis in gender' or 'sexual anarchy' of the time, the period also saw an upsurge of new technologies of communication, transport and medicine. As this monograph demonstrates, literature of the time is inevitably caught up in this technological modernity: technologies such as the typewriter, the bicycle, and medical technologies, through literary texts come to work as freedom machines, as harbingers of female emancipation.

The nineteenth century saw not only the emergence of the telegraph, the telephone, and the typewriter but also a fascination with séances and occult practices like automatic writing as a means for contacting the dead. Like the new technologies, modern spiritualism promised to link people separated by space or circumstance; and like them as well, it depended on the presence of a human medium to convey these conversations. Whether electrical or otherworldly, these communications were remarkably often conducted—in offices, at telegraph stations and telephone switchboards, and in séance parlors—by women. In The Sympathetic Medium, Jill Galvan offers a richly nuanced and culturally grounded analysis of the rise of the female medium in Great Britain and the United States during the Victorian era and through the turn of the century. Examining a wide variety of fictional explorations of feminine channeling (in both the technological and supernatural realms) by such authors as Henry James, George Eliot, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, Marie Corelli, and George Du Maurier, Galvan argues that women were often chosen for that role, or assumed it themselves, because they made at-a-distance dialogues seem more intimate, less mediated. Two allegedly feminine traits, sympathy and a susceptibility to automatism, enabled women to disappear into their roles as message-carriers.Anchoring her literary analysis in discussions of social, economic, and scientific culture, Galvan finds that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century feminization of mediated communication reveals the challenges that the new networked culture presented to prevailing ideas of gender, dialogue, privacy, and the relationship between body and self.

Keys I was emancipated as a teenager, after blackmailing the father who never wanted me, and being kicked out of the house by my mother, who loved him. Life has never been easy. As a member of a female motorcycle club, the brilliant mind behind a few of our businesses, and the woman with all the answers - thanks to my computer skills - you would think I finally had it all figured out. You would be wrong. The one thing I could never figure out was how to let someone into my heart after closing it off for so long. Then along came Quickshot. He was perfect, but maybe not perfect for me. Quickshot I knew from the moment I first saw Keys that we were meant to be, and I wasn't a sucker who believed in soulmates, romance, fate, or any other bullshit love at first sight scenario. Hell, thanks to growing up in the club life, I didn't think true love or real, lasting relationships were the fairytale everyone made them out to be. Still, I knew that not having her in my life meant having my heart beat out of rhythm for the rest of my existence. She gave me a shot, despite her history. I blew it. Watching her move on killed me. Resolving to never have her in my life the way I wanted was a hell I didn't really want to live through, so I tried to get lost in someone else. It didn't work because there was only ever room for her. It turned out that we couldn't have a future together. At least, not until we worked together to bury her past once and for all. Keys is book #3 in the S.H.E. Series, but can be read as a standalone book. For anyone wondering about the timeline - Keys' story runs concurrent with portions of Angel Girl and just prior to where JoJo's story picks up. The S.H.E. Series takes place during the same timeframe as Aces High MC - Charleston, Dakotas, and Tallahassee Series. It takes place 10 years prior to when Aces High MC - Cedar Falls Series starts.
