Abetted by transformative changes in communication and transportation (the subject of the first chapter), women established links among themselves, sometimes informally, sometimes as part of formal organizations. Most goal-oriented networks, particularly those with social and political agendas, were personal, national or transnational in nature and inevitably excluded those who did not share the goal. Such activist networks and their influences are the main focus of Part One. Topics addressed include women's national and international networks in British temperance associations; British anti-slavery societies; Italian crime syndicates; the Istanbul region of the Ottoman Empire; Philippine suffragism, early twentieth-century Portuguese political organizations, and Great War relief efforts in France. The chapters in Part Two examine the diverse literary networks that women writers enjoyed, abided, or disdained during the long nineteenth century. Included are the themes of British female utopia and dystopia; how the work of some British women poets both affected and reflected the variety of networks in which they were enmeshed; the intensely personal networks of American writers Mary Moody Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Emily Dickinson, and Alice James; Salem witches reimagined as Romantic heroines by American novelists Caroline Rosina Derby and Ella Taylor; the efforts of Southern autobiographers Rebecca Harding Davis and Elizabeth Avery Meriwether early in the twentieth century to negotiate a place for themselves and the South in American national history; and the significance of women's networks present in the South and absent in Brazil as depicted in Evelyn Scott's 1923 memoir"$c-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aSmithsonian contribution to knowledge. 517 $aConnecting women 606 $aWomen$xSocial networks$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen political activists$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aWomen$xSocial networks$xHistory 615 0$aWomen political activists$xHistory 676 $a305.409/034 702 $aHacker$b Barton C. 712 02$aSmithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910715076303321 996 $aConnecting Women$92517178 997 $aUNINA
