'Born a hundred years too soon': Bodichon's Agentic Epistolary Bildung.This book assesses Barbara Bodichon's significance in the history of the women's movement in Britain by elaborating a conceptualisation of letters as sources of feminist development. Bodichon was the leader of the first women's suffrage committee in England, which collected 1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote - a petition presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill. This book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Barbara Bodichon's feminist becoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted, redefined and challenged circulating discourses - transforming them in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender history and history of women's education, this book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Bodichon's development into one of the galvanizing figures of the women's rights movement in Victorian England. .Great BritainHistoryCivilizationHistorySocial historyFeminismFeminist theoryWorld politicsHistory of Britain and IrelandCultural HistorySocial HistoryFeminism and Feminist TheoryPolitical HistoryGreat BritainHistory.CivilizationHistory.Social history.Feminism.Feminist theory.World politics.History of Britain and Ireland.Cultural History.Social History.Feminism and Feminist Theory.Political History.305.420942900Simon-Martin Meritxellauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut976165MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910410027503321Barbara Bodichon’s Epistolary Education2223290UNINA01220nam0 22003011i 450 UON0047494920231205105223.925978-07-456-3099-120170309d2007 |0itac50 baengGB|||| |||||Why we hate politicsColin HayCambridgeMalden, MAPolity press2007IX, 187 p.23 cm..Partecipazione politicaStudiUONC054928FIPolitica e culturaUONC040002FICambridgeUONL000022USMalden (Mass.)UONL002005HayColinUONV234677464581Polity PressUONV251682650ITSOL20251121RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00474949SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI A 0172 SI 21833 5 0172 BuonoSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI2017153 1J 20170309 Why we hate politics1472004UNIOR
