ABSTRACT:Martha Gellhorn’s career as a foreign correspondent was defined by a commitment to reporting the effects of total war on everyday people. 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.

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.
摘要：针对Kevin Quashie等批评人士呼吁更多地关注黑人文化中的亲密过度抵抗，本文探讨了欲望作为黑人女权主义实践和亲密正义比喻的中心地位。托尼·凯德·班巴拉（Toni Cade Bambara）的《我的男人，波瓦尼》（My Man，Bovanne）（1972年）和爱丽丝·沃克（Alice Walker）的《紫色》（The Color Purple）（1982年）认为，女性正义的基础植根于欲望的概念。本文首先对源于黑格尔和巴特勒作品的欲望进行了理解。然后，它观察了黑泽尔在《我的男人，Bovanne》中对孩子们关于她应该如何表现的外部压力的渴望。转到《紫色》，这篇文章分析了Celie身上的创伤压力是如何让她失去自我意识和欲望能力的，直到她在一个女性群体中找到治愈的方法。这种团结反过来又使Celie能够治愈身边的其他人。

ABSTRACT:This article examines the early suffragist and suffragette revival of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689–1762). 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.

From the Editor Jennifer L. 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. Robin Hackett is Associate Professor of English at University of New Hampshire, where she specializes in feminist theory, queer theory, British literature after 1800, and modernisms. She is the author of Sapphic Primitivism: Productions of Race, Class, and Sexuality in Key Works of Modern Fiction (2004) and coeditor of Affective Materialities: Reorienting the Body in Modernist Literature (2019) and At Home and Abroad in the Empire: British Women Write the Thirties (2009). She has contributed to several collections including Communal Modernisms: Teaching Twentieth-Century Literary and Cultural Texts in the College Classroom (2013), At Home and Abroad in the Empire, and Interrogating Lesbian Modernism: Histories, Forms, Genres (forthcoming from Edinburgh University Press) and published articles in venues including Woolf Studies Annual, Virginia Woolf Miscellany, and Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature. Cynthia Richards is Professor of English and Richard P. Veler Endowed Chair in English at Wittenberg University, where she directs the Center for Teaching and Innovation, the Women’s Studies Program, and the Writing Across the Curriculum Program. She is the editor of The Wrongs of Woman; [End Page 5] or Maria and Memoirs of the Author of “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (2003) and coeditor of Approaches to Teaching Behn’s “Oroonoko” (2013), Early Modern Trauma: Europe and the Atlantic World (2021), and Quotidian Fevers in the Enlightenment: Patient Narratives of the Eighteenth Century (in p
在我们的上一期杂志中，《塔尔萨女性文学研究》有幸发表了“当代英国黑人女性写作”的专题，由伊丽莎白·贝克斯、伊丽莎白-简·伯内特和海伦·考辛斯担任客座编辑。这期杂志关注的是20世纪90年代以来非裔和加勒比裔英国女性的文学创新和实验性写作形式。通过五篇文章和对四位当代作家的采访，特邀编辑们精心策划了一个问题，“提出了一个关键问题，即政治在多大程度上优先于他们写作的美学。”这期杂志承认黑人女性的写作是英国当代文学创新的推动力。我很高兴能与特邀编辑就这一问题进行合作，并出版这一重要作品。在这期特刊中，我们有三位新成员加入了我们的编委会:罗宾·哈克特、辛西娅·理查兹和玛丽·优素福。由于我没能在上一期杂志上公布他们的名字，下面是他们的介绍，以及本期的编辑委员会成员:Gabeba Baderoon、Kimberly Anne Coles和Laura E.
