This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century.Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim—despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions.Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of “classics,” adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works.In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Le sexe désigne communément le sexe biologique qui nous est assigné à la naissance (mâle ou femelle), le rôle ou le comportement sexuels qui sont censés lui correspondre (le genre), et, enfin, la sexualité. Les théories féministes s'attachent à la problématisation de ces trois acceptions mêlées du sexe. Elles travaillent à la fois sur les distinctions historiquement établies entre le sexe, le genre et la sexualité, sur leurs constructions et leurs relations. S'agit-il d'une relation de causalité : le sexe biologique détermine-t-il le genre et la sexualité ? D'une relation de simultanéité non contraignante entre le sexe biologique, d'une part, et l'identité sexuelle (de genre et de sexualité), d'autre part ? S'agit-il d'une relation de normalisation ? L'hétérosexualité reproductrice est-elle la norme légale, sociale, mais aussi médicale, à l'aune de laquelle les catégories de sexe comme de genre peuvent être déconstruites, voire contestées et bouleversées ? Le présent volume porte sur les théories féministes de ces quarantes dernières années, dont la richesse et l'engagement en font l'un des champs les plus novateurs de la recherche actuelle : le féminisme marxiste, l'épistémologie ou l'éthique féministes, l'histoire et la philosophie féministes des sciences, le black feminism, le féminisme « post-moderne » et la théorie queer. L'ensemble de ces pensées constitue aujourd'hui un véritable champ de la philosophie contemporaine, dont on trouvera ici une introduction et une problématisation inédites en France.

A masterful intersection of Bible Studies, Gender Studies, and Rabbinic law, Diane Kriger explores the laws pertaining to female slaves in Jewish law. Comparing Biblical strictures with later Rabbinic interpretations as well as contemporary Greco-Roman and Babylonian codes of law, Kriger establishes a framework whereby a woman’s sexual identity also indicates her legal status. With sensitivity to the nuances in both ancient laws and ancient languages, Kriger adds greatly to our understanding of gender, slave status, and the matrilineal principle of descent in the Ancient Near East.
