It continues to be a key feminist text today: scholars avidly debate how Woolf's criticism instigated, but also thwarted and distorted, the study of women's literary history. Apart from A Room, Woolf also engaged extensively with women's literary history both in her fictional and non-fictional writing. I argue that it is important to put A Room in dialogue with both Woolf's early essays about eighteenth-century women writers and her writing about literary history and aesthetics. Re-reading A Room in light of this is a useful exercise because it helps us understand that Woolf's feminist literary history project is not solely based on women's economic entrance into the literary marketplace, but that, for Woolf, literary aesthetics played an important part in women's inclusion or exclusion in literary history. In examining Woolf's conception of women's literary history of the long eighteenth century, this essay sheds new light on the close entanglement of aesthetics and feminist politics in Woolf's writing.","PeriodicalId":42325,"journal":{"name":"Womens Writing","volume":"30 1","pages":"91 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43084188","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}

Much of the reverence for Nightingale as the founder of modern nursing are based on half-truths found within E.T. Cook’s (1913) biography, The Life of Florence Nightingale. This reverence includes the misconception that Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not (1859) was the first nursing book of its kind. However, over twenty books about nursing praxis were published in Western countries between the mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Several of these books were written by women to assist other women performing nursing work. This paper examines three of these books – The Good Nurse (1825), The Family Nurse (1837) and Advices Concerning the Sick (c. 1847) – and compares their guiding principles to those found in Notes on Nursing and other key works by Nightingale. The findings from this comparative analysis demonstrates that Nightingale’s writings about what nursing ought to be were not unique nor original. Instead, they were aligned with the prevailing ideology of the period – nurses were required to be good and do good to make others look good.","PeriodicalId":42325,"journal":{"name":"Womens Writing","volume":"29 1","pages":"583 - 599"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44293162","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}

Fearn (1867–1939), a Southern American physician in early twentieth-century China, strategically uses disease, particularly epidemics, as a significant agentic actor in conceiving a medical career that transgresses not just gender norms but also the imperialist ideology prevalent in western discourses regarding China. This article first teases out the historical backdrop in which Western medicine conveniently coupled with imperialism in American discourses on China, mapping epidemic disease onto popular imaginations of China and its people. It moves on to trace the ways in which Fearn turns to depictions of China’s epidemic disease and her daughter’s death to displace possible criticism of her professional choices. Furthermore, I demonstrate how gendered approaches to epidemics allow for curiosity in and respect for some local medical practices. As such, the memoir reveals a cross-cultural, cosmopolitan sensitivity regarding local medical traditions as much as a cultivated distance from western medicine’s perceived superiority and dominance that sustain imperialism.","PeriodicalId":42325,"journal":{"name":"Womens Writing","volume":"29 1","pages":"600 - 615"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44833881","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}

Considering past women’s own words about the roles as healers, medics, and patients that they have occupied and their experiences of ill health, disease, and treatments can help us contextualise and critically evaluate the experiences of women in our modern pandemic context. Much discussion has centred on the ways in which the pandemic, at least in the UK, disproportionately affected women’s working lives. For example, a higher number of women were, between 1 July and 31 December 2020, furloughed than men. The burden of childcare and care for ailing family members fell largely to women, and so COVID-19 served to reinforce historical patriarchal norms of domestic duties. In the UK, women, it was noted by the Office for National Statistics, spent more time on unpaid household work, childcare, and home schooling than men, despite both men and women spending more time working from home. In terms of writing and knowledge production, academic journals also noted a considerable drop in submissions by female academics. Women’s experiences of illness and disease consequently affect, and historically have affected, disparate parts of their lives. The articles in this special issue draw together a range of women’s writing on illness and disease from the seventeenth century to the early twentieth century and from a range of geographical locations. Thinking across space and time allows us to see the many connections and similarities in women’s experiences and writing, while also creating space for the disjuncture and differences unique to particular temporal settings and locations to emerge. Several of the articles in this collection examine women’s writings about outbreaks of illnesses such as tuberculosis, smallpox, and even","PeriodicalId":42325,"journal":{"name":"Womens Writing","volume":"29 1","pages":"491 - 496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48036881","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}
