This article traces the feminist and political ramifications of Gellhorn’s human interest perspective in her fictional writing, particularly her novel about Czechoslovakia, A Stricken Field (1940), and her short story about Corsica, “Luigi’s House” (1941). Gellhorn’s mid-century modernist writing unites a tradition of aesthetic experimentation with concerns about the state of democracy, the positioning of nationality, and the resulting crises of human rights and citizenship. Within the specific historical context of the mid-century period when the divide between home front and warfront ceased to exist and the connection between home and nation was ruptured, Gellhorn raises the private space of the home to the level of public, political importance where the most basic human rights are defended and safeguarded. By reading A Stricken Field and “Luigi’s House” through the combined lens of refugee studies and feminist approaches to domesticity, this article investigates how Gellhorn reconfigures the home as a radical site of resistance, examines the role of women in community and national belonging, and critiques democratic nations like the United States and Britain for their own histories of isolationism and occupation.","PeriodicalId":43417,"journal":{"name":"TULSA STUDIES IN WOMENS LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42109274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eze","doi":"10.1353/tsw.2023.0006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/tsw.2023.0006","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:Responding to critics like Kevin Quashie who call for increased focus on the intimate over resistance in Black culture, this article examines the centrality of desire as a Black feminist praxis and a trope of intimate justice. It reads Toni Cade Bambara’s “My Man, Bovanne” (1972) and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1982) as arguing that the foundation of justice for women is rooted in the notion of desire. The article first offers an understanding of desire that is rooted in the work of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Judith Butler. Then it looks at the way Hazel in “My Man, Bovanne” asserts her desires against the external pressures of her children regarding how she should behave. Turning to The Color Purple, the article analyzes the way traumatic pressures on Celie empty her of a sense of self and ability to desire until she finds healing in a community of women. This solidarity in turn empowers Celie to heal others around her.","PeriodicalId":43417,"journal":{"name":"TULSA STUDIES IN WOMENS LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46063510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studying Montagu’s representation in prominent suffrage journals and the writing of leading women’s rights activists, this essay argues that she was celebrated as both a remarkably progressive New Woman-prototype and as an early example for women’s militant tactics. In doing so, this paper sheds new light on the complex recovery history of Montagu. It also contributes to our understanding of the importance of feminist literary criticism and women’s literary history in the historiographic projects of the early women’s movement.","PeriodicalId":43417,"journal":{"name":"TULSA STUDIES IN WOMENS LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42651032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Airey In our last issue, Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature had the honor of publishing on the special topic of “Contemporary Black British Women’s Writing,” guest edited by Elisabeth Bekers, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, and Helen Cousins. The issue focuses on literary innovations and experimental forms of writing by British women of African and African Caribbean descent since the 1990s. Through five articles and interviews with four contemporary authors, the guest editors craft an issue that “raises critical questions about the extent to which precedence has been given to the politics over the aesthetics of their writing.”1 The issue recognizes Black women’s writing as a driving force of contemporary literary innovation in Britain. It was a pleasure to work with the guest editors on the issue and to publish this important work. With this special issue, we had three new members join our editorial board: Robin Hackett, Cynthia Richards, and Mary Youssef. Since I was not able to announce them in our last issue, their introductions appear below along with the editorial board members joining with this issue: Gabeba Baderoon, Kimberly Anne Coles, and Laura E. Tanner. While I am looking forward to working with all these exemplary scholars, I am always sad to bid farewell to those rotating off the board. With great appreciation, I say goodbye to Anupama Arora, Mary Jean Corbett, Marilyn Francus, Hala Halim, Jean Mills, and Carrie J. Preston.
