Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: Being a great lover of mythological tales since childhood, I have early discovered that certain traits and patterns of behaviour were usually ascribed to certain gender roles. Yet even within the roles of the respective genders, considerable differences were to be found. Those who shared many characteristics tended to end in similar ways. Strong and capable Penthesilea ends dead on the battlefield of Troy and her corpse is raped by Achilles. Atalanta, who beats male heroes in great adventures is tricked into marriage against her will, by an offended goddess and a man who is not her equal. Helen's beauty has the power to launch thousand ships. Yet Helen herself is only a toy for men and gods. Penelope sits and weaves for twenty years waiting for her husband to return from a Trojan war while he is pursued and seduced by enchantresses. The more I read, in mythology and other fiction, the more often I discovered some endlessly repeating characteristics and patterns of behaviour of diverse roles. During my studies I became very interested in gender roles in Anglo-American literature, again particularly in those of female characters. Female roles in literature were always the more interesting to me when read from the background of the historical period in which they were created. Some of those fictional characters reflected the roles women were expected to fill at that particular age and geographical area. Others again were bad examples and warnings of what happens to women who do not fit into socially accepted roles. Once in a while a heroine would rise above the expected roles yet in the end she would return to the domestic area in which she was expected to be, or she would be destroyed. Of course there were always exceptions. Yet the first permanent and recognisable change of such roles in literature beco

This collection speaks to common themes and strategies in women's writing about their different worlds, from Margaret Cavendish's seventeenth-century Blazing World of the North Pole to the "men-less" islands of the French writer Scudery to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century utopias of Shelley and Gaskell, and science fiction pulps, finishing with the more contemporary feminist fictions of Le Guin, Wittig, Piercy, and Michison. It shows that these fictions historically speak to each other and together amount to a literary tradition of women's writing about a better place.

In a dystopian future where women are dehumanized and treated as little more than property, an underground group of radical feminists is about to unleash the biggest terror mankind has ever known.'I wish I was born a girl. Then I could go hunt for some Grander to marry, and bam, just like that we'd be set for life!''Strange. I was wishing earlier that I was a boy so I could get a job and walk around town freely.'A sensible and modern woman is docile and attractive. She will never jeopardize her marriage prospects by appearing to be the kind of woman who is assertive and unruly. She will marry a rich and powerful man and learn to navigate the venomous relationships between his other wives.Ramona Rey isn't a sensible and modern woman.Instead of following the path laid out for her, she becomes part of an elusive underground feminist organization - The Bulwark of Women, or BOW. In the backlash following an economic crash that was blamed on a small group of feminists, public sentiment shifted to believe that a woman's role is solely to reproduce and keep her husband happy. Ramona hopes that with BOW's help, society can learn to view women as equals. But BOW has much, much larger plans in mind...Women Utopia is a timely novel from a fresh new voice in fiction, Wendy Wee.

No human society has ever been perfect, a fact that has led thinkers as far back as Plato and St. Augustine to conceive of utopias both as a fanciful means of escape from an imperfect reality and as a useful tool with which to design improvements upon it. The most studied utopias have been proposed by men, but during the eighteenth century a group of reform-oriented female novelists put forth a series of work that expressed their views of, and their reservations about, ideal societies. In Women's Utopias of the Eighteenth Century, Alessa Johns examines the utopian communities envisaged by Mary Astell, Sarah Fielding, Mary Hamilton, Sarah Scott, and other writers from Britain and continental Europe, uncovering the ways in which they resembled--and departed from--traditional utopias. Johns demonstrates that while traditional visions tended to look back to absolutist models, women's utopias quickly incorporated emerging liberal ideas that allowed far more room for personal initiative and gave agency to groups that were not culturally dominant, such as the female writers themselves. Women's utopias, Johns argues, were reproductive in nature. They had the potential to reimagine and perpetuate themselves.

The first full-length study of women's utopian spatial imagination in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this book explores the sophisticated correlation between identity and social space. The investigation is driven by conceptual questions and thus seeks to link theoretical debates about space, gender and utopianism to historiographic debates about the (gendered) social production of space. Specific attention is given to spaces that feature widely in contemporary utopian imagination: Arcadia, the palace, the convent, the harem and the country house.

Daring to Dream recovers for readers three full-length utopias never before reprinted in their entirety, four short utopian stories, and significant excerpts from five utopian novels, each carefully selected to maintain the integrity of the original. The book thus provides an overview of utopias by women in the United States from texts not otherwise easily available. Together they provide a foreground for, and feminist revision of, Edward Bellamy's popular and influential Looking\Backward (1888), as well as the imaginative underpinnings for the late twentieth-century outpouring of feminist utopias. A female narrator in 1870 dreams of a role reversal in a story in which men are confined to housekeeping and baby tending, and women run the country and enjoy all the privileges. In an 1885 short story, women emigrate from the eastern states to the Territory of Washington, where only women are voters. In the 1949 piece, "A Visitor from Venus," the visitor, accustomed to an all female Venusian society, reports her dismay at Earth's sex-biased arrangements. In addition to these twelve selections, this new edition includes a valuable annotated bibliography of utopias written by United States women from 1836-1988.
