Описание: Women of the 1920s led a revolt against the old standards of womanhood that were dominating US culture. Flappers and feminists, they spoke and acted out, inspiring other women to follow. This book analyzes the work of eleven important 1920s female authors who chronicled this revolt: Anzia Yezierska, Anita Loos, Mae West, Josephine Lovett, Nella Larsen, Mourning Dove, Djuna Barnes, Amy Lowell, Gertrude Stein, Bessie Smith, and Dorothy Parker. These trailblazers wrote counter-narratives to the sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia women faced during the Jazz Age. The author brings their novels, poems, plays, film scenarios, and blues lyrics into conversation with each other for the first time to show different approaches female readers could take to become autonomous individuals and full citizens. The works also encouraged readers to maintain supportive relationships with other progressive women. The author argues these works presented female readers with examples of how they could act individually and collectively to attain the political power, social status, economic independence, sexual freedom, and artistic recognition they deserved.
«Indian Muslim women are vibrant and have an identity of their own. As a section of humanity and as individuals, they have faced immense struggles, have had varied experiences, have rendered their support to the freedom struggle, have raised their voice for women’s emancipation and have asserted their identity. This book is a very fine documentation of the lives of prominent Indian Muslim women icons who inspired millions of other women to express their voice and bring about social transformation.»
(Mr K Rahman Khan, Former Union Minister of Minority Affairs-GOI, Former Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.)
