Molly Youngkin argues that canonical women writers such as Florence Nightingale and George Eliot?and less canonical figures such as Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper (who wrote under the name 'Michael Field') and Elinor Glyn?incorporated their knowledge of ancient Egyptian women's cultural power in only a limited fashion when presenting their visions for emancipation. Often, they represented ancient Greek women or Italian Renaissance women rather than ancient Egyptian women, since Greek and Italian cultures were more familiar and less threatening to their British audience. This notable distinction opens up discussions about the history of British women, their writing, and the British view on gender inthe nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aSex 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a820.9/35832 686 $aLIT000000$aLIT003000$aLIT004120$aLIT004290$2bisacsh 700 $aYoungkin$b Molly$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058275 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255232003321 996 $aBritish Women Writers and the Reception of Ancient Egypt, 1840-1910$92498477 997 $aUNINA
