Enslaved women and men resisted that control. Despite being branded, enslaved persons ran away. Knowing the tremendous cultural and social value accorded to their breasts, enslaved women, whether as mothers or othermothers, pursued a strategy of subversive breastfeeding. By so doing, they nurtured children and sustained survival, including fugitive networks. Ultimately, these Black mothers impacted how freedom was defined and imagined both during and long after the Haitian Revolution. These findings contribute to histories of the breast, the Haitian Revolution, intimate labor, and the body. They make visible women and their decisions in challenging enslavement.","PeriodicalId":247324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women's History","volume":"50 1","pages":"76 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139210285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Making sense of the representations of Erauso and d’Eon requires viewing them as depictions of nature that belonged to the genre of the cabinet of curiosities. When seen as part of the cabinet of curiosities, their paintings appear as part of the artistic and scientific explorations that negotiated changing concepts of nature in early modern Europe. While Erauso’s portrait belonged to a tradition that embraced the sitter’s gender ambiguities, d’Eon’s portrait appears instead as a transitional object between two ways of organizing knowledge of nature. D’Eon’s portrait reflected a grown interest in the eighteenth century of representing nature in an objective way with a clear separation between the genders.","PeriodicalId":247324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women's History","volume":"44 1","pages":"57 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Newspapers and periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic were fascinated with her excavation at Gournia, which they found particularly newsworthy because she was a woman. Boyd was not a passive recipient of the media’s portrayal, however, but actively developed her public persona. Press coverage from 1900 to 1910 reveals a preoccupation with framing Boyd through three dominant themes: her gender, the archaeologist as a romantic figure, and Boyd’s American nationality. This article demonstrates how Boyd fashioned her identity within and against popular media stereotypes, illuminating her adept subversion of the heroic (male) archaeologist model. Through her artful counternarratives, Boyd downplayed her role as an exceptional woman and emphasized fieldwork as a collective, scientific endeavor, underscoring the significance of Gournia as a Minoan town (not a palace).","PeriodicalId":247324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women's History","volume":"63 1","pages":"12 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139212673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through collecting they created networks with other women and established their presence in a public sphere from which they were habitually excluded because of their gender. In this article I flesh out these issues by focusing on the career of Isabel Frances Dodd (1857–1943), a specialist in art and archaeology who worked as a professor at the American College for Girls in Constantinople. The article is divided into two parts. First, I provide an overview of the historical context and the sources available for approaching the case study. Second, I concentrate on one of the main features of Dodd’s professional life—namely, her role as a collector of antiquities. In this part, particular attention is devoted to the largest project she launched: the creation of a museum.","PeriodicalId":247324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women's History","volume":"12 1","pages":"37 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"SPECIAL ISSUE: Debout & Déter / Standing Up & Determined: Black Women on the Move, Black Feminisms in French (Post)Imperial Contexts","authors":"Jennifer Anne Boittin, Jacqueline Couti","doi":"10.1353/jowh.2023.a905187","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jowh.2023.a905187","url":null,"abstract":"SPECIAL ISSUE: Debout & Déter / Standing Up & Determined: Black Women on the Move, Black Feminisms in French (Post)Imperial Contexts Jennifer Anne Boittin (bio) and Jacqueline Couti (bio) In a roundtable, the transcription of which concludes this Special Issue, Bintou Dembélé, a dancer and choreographer, discusses her relationship to the world through movement. She does not describe herself as engagée but invokes the hip-hop and banlieue (project-like housing development) slang déter (determined) and debout (standing up) to denote the conscious and stubborn dimensions of this active stance. In the same roundtable, using a Creole phrase, the Martinican singer Jocelyne Béroard adds tchin bé doubout (don’t give up), which she explains means “we are, we exist,” developing that same idea of standing up (doubout). The notion of femmes debout (women standing up, tall, on their two feet) and déter (determined women) defines this Special Issue devoted to “Debout & Déter: Black Women on the Move, Black Feminisms in French (Post) Imperial Contexts,” as do the forms of movement and engagement that lead women to take that stance. Alongside those whose voices shape this volume, Dembélé and Béroard remind us of the many ways women describe their place and actions in the world while questioning, rejecting, or reframing the language of feminism, activism, and academia.1 These debout women position themselves in this way after finding themselves either literally sidelined (in rural communities or banlieues) or figuratively sidelined, like the signares (elite women) of Gorée Island, Senegal, after men in that region received French citizenship in 1848. As we listened to their words, we realized that the initial question driving our project had been rendered more precise by the contributors’ sources, voices, and analyses. This Special Issue began as an examination of Black feminisms as a way to resist oppression, be it colonialism, racism, or misogyny. But in the review and writing process, the focus shifted, becoming a collection of articles seeking to understand why in the Global South, or in marginalized communities of the Global North, words like “déter” or “debout” are so prevalent when women describe their social, political, and cultural movements, or their engagement with the world. Somewhere along the way, “Debout & Déter” provided a broader exploration of how women prevail to create a better existence, or a better life, for themselves and very often for their kin.2 Francophone Afrofeminist thinking remains present in these articles, including as explicit terminology. But these texts also examine collaborative strategies to create a more equitable world for people across genders and for the broader community. These [End Page 9] articles showcase women who stood and moved to create spaces in which they could better exist, at times even thrive, and from which they could keep moving forward.
