Through a range of insightful textual analyses, this book highlights the political significance of this critically neglected literary medium. Publisher Description An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and through Knowledge Unlatched.In this original study, Siobhán McIlvanney examines the beginnings of the womens press in France. Figurations of the Feminine is the first work in English to assess the most significant publications which make up this diverse, yet critically neglected, medium. It traces the evolving representations of womanhood that appear over the first ninety years of womens journals in France. McIlvanneys insightful readings demonstrate that these journals are often characterised by a remarkable degree of feminist content. This refutes the general conception of the womens press as an idealised, hyper-feminised space inhabited by the intellectually idle – whether in the form of readers or writers – disseminating and legitimating a limited range of patriarchal stereotypes and idées reçues. Through textual analyses of different generic subsections, whether the literary journal, the fashion magazine, the domestic press or more explicitly politicised outputs, Figurations of the Feminine challenges the critical commonplaces which have been applied to the womens press since its genesis, both in France and elsewhere. It demonstrates the political richness of this medium and the privileged perspectives it gives us on female self-expression and on the everyday lives of French women from across the class spectrum during this key historical period. Author Biography Siobhán McIlvanney is Professor of French and Francophone Womens Writing at Kings College London.
