Abstract:

The author of the article examines the life and work of the English writer and thinker Mary Wollstonecraft (1759—1797), who in the treatise “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1792) argued that women deserve equal rights and education with men. The biographical facts and psychological origins of her views, as well as the stages of their formation reflected in her writings, were studied. Dramatic collisions are highlighted, during which Wollstonecraft's views came into conflict with reality. These collisions are traced in the context of political events in England and France at the end of the 18th century and in the context of Mary's personal life. The correlation of Wollstonecraft's views which were formed within the framework of Enlightenment ideas, with feminism of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is studied. The author focuses on the unique personality traits of Mary Wollstonecraft, without which her views and creativity cannot be fully understood.

Abstract:

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) és un referent de la literatura feminista, i el seu A vindication of the rights of woman (1792), un dels tractats fundacionals. Aquest assaig es traduí al català el 2014, més de dos-cents anys després de la mort de l’autora, gairebé quaranta després de la primera traducció al castellà (1977) i deu després de la versió gallega (2004). Publicat per l’editorial gironina L’Art de la Memòria, traduït i prologat per Joan Josep Mussarra Roca, Vindicació dels drets de la dona arriba en una nova etapa d’auge editorial per al feminisme internacional. Quatre anys abans, el 2010, l’editorial valenciana Tres i Quatre n’havia editat Cartes sobre Suècia, Noruega i Dinamarca, versionades i introduïdes per Òscar Sabata i Teixidó. Aquest article, després de presentar breument la intel·lectual il·lustrada anglesa, resseguir-ne les traduccions a les altres llengües de l’Estat i contextualitzar els feminismes traduïts a Catalunya d’ençà de la dècada dels seixanta, se centra en la recepció catalana de Mary Wollstonecraft i en els factors que confluïren perquè una de les escriptores clàssiques de la història del feminisme fos introduïda al català tan tardanament.

Abstract:

El presente artículo aborda la crítica de Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) a la visión educativa que propone Rousseau en su obra El Emilio. El debate en cuestión es un episodio relevante en la histórica lucha reivindicativa de las mujeres, en la cual Wollstonecraft demanda, como derecho, un espacio público integral femenino. El tema que interesa tratar es si la propuesta de la autora de cambiar el paradigma de la esclava doméstica por el de una ciudadana ilustrada, supone el reconocimiento de la responsabilidad moral y cívica a las mujeres; y si el camino de otorgarles dignidad, por la vía de una educación equivalente entre los miembros de ambos sexos, supone necesariamente el abandono femenino de su papel formativo en los hogares como educadoras de sus hijos. Del mismo modo interesa determinar si, en el pensamiento de Wollstonecraft, la transformación de la maternidad como una tarea cívica y el reconocimiento de la mujer como sujeto racional sexuado, genera una visión de la racionalidad distinta que rompe con la masculina.

Abstract:

Every country is currently concerned with education since it alone has the power to create a new world and offer up possibilities for positive outcomes. Three notable female educators from three separate eras who contributed to the advancement of education in the west have been recognised. Through their quick work in education, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797), Maria Montessori (1870–1952), and Nel Noddings (1929–2022) have brought important concerns relating to women and children's education to light. These three women educators were connected by their interest in education despite being born in various eras and regions of the world. In this paper the researchers have tried to bring the educational thoughts of these iconic educationalists into one frame, making it a comprehensive study of educators from different eras.

Abstract:

The scholarship on Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) is divided concerning her views on women's role in public life, property rights, and distribution of wealth. Her critique of inequality of wealth is undisputed, but is it a complaint only of inequality or does it strike more forcefully at the institution of property? The argument in this article is that Wollstonecraft's feminism is partly defined by a radical critique of property, intertwined with her conception of rights. Dissociating herself from the conceptualization of rights in terms of self‐ownership, she casts economic independence—a necessary political criterion for personal freedom—in terms of fair reward for work, not ownership. Her critique of property moves beyond issues of redistribution to a feminist appraisal of a property structure that turns people into either owners or owned, rights‐holders or things acquired. The main characters in Wollstonecraft's last novel—Maria, who is rich but has nothing, and Jemima, who steals as a matter of principle—illustrate the commodification of women in a society where even rights are regarded as possessions.

Abstract:

The study aims at analyzing the meanings and symbolic implications of flowers in selected poems by William Blake (1757-1827) from a feminist perspective. This paper analyzes the themes and symbolism of different kinds of flowers to explain how William Blake tries to expose the situation of women in the patriarchal nineteenth-century society. The study discusses the language of flowers from a feminist perspective relying on three prominent feminists. First, the study relies on Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) who rejected the patriarchal role of women as submissive and weak. Second, the study applies Virginia Woolf’s feminist perspective about rejecting the role of women as the angels of the house. Third, the study applies Simone de Beauvoir’s rejection of categorizing women as subjective and inferior. William Blake is an early feminist who rejected the submission of women and used his poetry to comment on the situation of women in the nineteenth century. He expresses many issues related to women. He believed in women’s ability to be independent and strong and he refutes the traditional social stereotyping of women as being inferior and weak and therefore they are in constant need of the support of men. Blake stresses the beauty and strength of women through describing women in floral imagery.

Abstract:

Dans les années 1970, la critique littéraire occidentale, mue par des prises de parti ancrés dans l’évolution des mœurs, a fait redécouvrir Mary Wollstonecraft en la présentant comme la « mère du féminisme ». L’analyse des écrits composant une œuvre hétérogène a souvent été laissée de côté au profit d’une approche idéologique. L’étude considère au contraire le système générique des textes en faisant l’hypothèse que sa complexité, marquée par une pratique de l’hybridation, résulte d’une démarche expérimentale. L’objet d’une telle stratégie serait de mettre à distance les modèles canoniques et partant, de créer une nouvelle forme d’écriture. Les mutations socio-culturelles du XVIIIe siècle sont propices à l’émancipation et de la femme et de l’esthétique de l’œuvre. Aussi faut-il considérer ce que le fonctionnement des textes dit de la femme et si Mary Wollstonecraft parvient à relever les défit qu’elle se lance.

Abstract:

Les romans de Jane Austen sont souvent perçus comme étant une narration parfaite de la vie domestique au dix-neuvième siècle. La plupart des intrigues sont centrées autour de quelques familles et d'une héroïne qui, à la fin du roman, est récompensée à travers son mariage avec l'homme de son choix (qui s'avère souvent riche et muni d'une bonne position sociale). Puisque les romans d'Austen se terminent généralement par un mariage conventionnel et apparaissent d'une envergure limitée, les analyses des thèmes féministes sous-jacents ne sont pas apparues avant le vingtième siècle. Plusieurs études ont révélé qu'au dessous de ces romans à caractère domestique se cache des arguments féministes en faveur de l'éducation des femmes et une critique des inégalités entre les sexes et des codes de conduite. L'étude qui suit comparera le féminisme d'Austen à celui de Mary Wollstonecraft, à partir de ses essais A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, A Vindication of the Rights of Men, ainsi que ses romans Mary et The Wrongs of Woman. Cette analyse portera aussi sur trois des romans d'Austen : Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility et Mansfield Park. Ces romans reflètent clairement la situation des femmes de l'époque et s'attardent sur l'importance de l'éducation des femmes, les stéréotypes socialement définis, les relations homme-femme et les situations de violence dans le mariage et la famille. En comparant son engagement avec cette problématique aux oeuvres de Wollstonecraft, cette étude démontre que, au travers de ses romans, Austen était beaucoup plus consciente et engagée avec la société dans laquelle elle vivait qu'on ne l'imaginait

Abstract:

Mary Wollstonecraft et Emmeline Pankhurst ont joué un rôle important dans la lutte pour les droits des femmes. Elles ont fait de l’écriture et du militantisme politique un moyen de lutte contre les injustices subies par les femmes. La plupart des historiens se sont concentrés sur les revendications révolutionnaires portées par les deux féministes. Cette recherche a au contraire pour dessein d’explorer leur utilisation de la "conformité stratégique" pour faire avancer leurs revendications émancipatrices. Il s’agit d’examiner la manière dont les deux féministes se sont conformées de manière stratégique à certaines notions de moralité, de statut matrimonial, de maternité et de féminité, afin d’ atténuer le radicalisme de leurs revendications et de leurs actions, et du même coup, discréditer les accusations de leurs critiques. Cette recherche vise par ailleurs à évaluer l’efficacité de la conformité comme moyen de lutte émancipatrice des deux féministes et à démontrer que la conformité stratégique constitue un instrument politique tout aussi important que la rébellion
Mary Wollstonecraft and Emmeline Pankhurst played a leading role in the fight for women’s rights, the former through writing and the latter through political activism. While most historians have focused on the revolutionary claims and means that Wollstonecraft and Pankhurst used in their struggle for women’s rights, my research aims to explore their use of ‘strategic conformity’ to further advance their emancipatory claims. It investigates how the two feminists strategically conformed to certain notions of morality, wifehood, motherhood and femininity so as to soften their radical claims and means, and hence discredit their critics’ accusations. Besides, this research attempts to assess the efficiency of the two feminists’ strategy of conformity by examining the contemporary reception of their ideas and actions. Eventually, this research stresses “strategic conformity” as an equally significant and efficient political means as rebellion

Abstract:

The word "necrophilia" brings a particular definition readily to mind that of an act of sexual intercourse with a corpse, probably a female corpse at that. But the definition of the word did not always have this connotation; quite literally the word means "love of the dead," or "a morbid attraction to death." An examination of nineteenth-century literature reveals a gradual change in relationships between the living and the dead, culminating in the sexualized representation of corpses at the close of the century. The works examined for necrophilic content are: Mary Wollstonecrafts Mary, A Fiction, Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, Emily Brontës Wuthering Heights, and Bram Stokers Dracula and The Jewel of Seven Stars.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between the Female Gothic novel of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century and the social context of women at that time. In the examination of the primary works of Ann Radcliffe, Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley, this study investigates how these female writers work within the Gothic genre to explore issues related to the role of women in their society, in particular those concerned with sexual identity. It is contended that the Gothic genre provides these authors with the ideal vehicle through which to critique the patriarchal definition of the female, a definition which confines and marginalizes women, denying the female any sexual autonomy. The Introduction defines the scope of the thesis by delineating the differences between the Female Gothic and the Male Gothic. Arguing that the Female Gothic shuns the voyeuristic victimisation of women which characterizes much of the Male Gothic, it is contended that the Female Gothic is defined by its interest in, and exploration of, issues which concern the status of women in a patriarchy. It is asserted that it is this concern with female gender roles that connects the overtly radical work of Mary Wollstonecraft with the oblique critique evident in her contemporary, Ann Radcliffe’s, novels. It is these concerns too, which haunt Mary Shelley’s texts, published two decades later. Chapter One outlines the status of women in the patriarchal society of the late eighteenth century, a period marked by political and social upheaval. This period saw the increasing division of men and women into the “separate spheres” of the public and domestic worlds, and the consequent birth of the ideal of “Angel in the House” which became entrenched in the nineteenth century. The chapter examines how women writers were influenced by this social context and what effect it had on the presentation of female characters in their work, in particular in terms of their depiction of motherhood. Working from the premise that, in order to fully understand the portrayal of female sexuality in the texts, the depiction of the male must be examined, Chapter Two analyses the male characters in terms of their relationship to the heroines and/or the concept of the “feminine”. Although the male characters differ from text to text and author to author, it is argued that in their portrayal of “heroes and villains” the authors were providing a critique of the patriarchal system. While some of the texts depict male characters that challenge traditional stereotypes concerning masculinity, others outline the disastrous and sometimes fatal consequences for both men and women of the rigid gender divisions which disallow the male access to the emotional realm restricted by social prescriptions to the private, domestic world of the female. It is contended that, as such, all of the texts assert the necessity for male and female, masculine and feminine to be united on equal terms. Chapter Three interprets the heroine’s journey through sublime landscapes and mysterious buildings as a journey from childhood innocence to sexual maturity, illustrating the intrinsic link that exists between the settings of Gothic novels and female sexuality. The chapter first examines the authors’ use of the Burkean concept of the sublime and contends that the texts offer a significant revision of the concept. In contrast to Burke’s overtly masculinist definition of the sublime, the texts assert that the female can and does have access to it, and that this access can be used to overcome patriarchal oppression. Secondly, an analysis of the image of the castle and related structures reveals that they can symbolise both the patriarchy and the feminine body. Contending that the heroine’s experiences within these structures enable her to move from innocence to experience, it is asserted that the knowledge that she gains, during her journeys, of herself and of society allows her to assert her independence as a sexually adult woman.

Abstract:

Cette thèse étudie un corpus de romans anglais, encore peu étudiés en France et jamais étudiés collectivement, publiés entre 1782 et 1805 par des écrivains et des écrivaines se rattachant par leurs idées et, pour certains, leur militantisme actif, au mouvement radical qui se développe en Angleterre dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, s’amplifie et s’organise sous l’impulsion de la Révolution française, puis, sévèrement réprimé par le gouvernement de William Pitt, s’effondre à la fin de la décennie. Cette séquence historique laisse des traces profondes dans l’œuvre des romanciers radicaux, dont beaucoup, comme William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft et John Thelwall, sont philosophes ou polémistes avant d’être romanciers et prennent la plume pour défendre les droits de l’homme (et de la femme) dans le débat anglais sur la Révolution française qui oppose Edmund Burke à Thomas Paine. En croisant l’histoire des idées politiques, l’histoire sociale et culturelle du mouvement radical, l’histoire du livre et la narratologie classique, ce travail s’efforce de mettre en lumière la façon dont les romans encodent une certaine idéologie politique dans leurs formes – du discours des locuteurs au format de publication des romans, en passant par leurs narrateurs, leurs intrigues, leurs personnages, leur style et leurs silences signifiants. Un tel examen fait ressortir, plutôt qu’une idéologie radicale unifiée, une tension récurrente entre deux versions, libérale et jacobine, bourgeoise et plébéienne, du radicalisme, dont l’articulation conflictuelle revêt différentes formes d’un auteur à l’autre et d’un terme à l’autre de la période étudiée, à mesure que la réaction conservatrice enterre les espoirs radicaux de réformes
This dissertation examines a corpus of English novels which have been little studied in France as yet and never as a whole. The novels were published between 1782 and 1805 by a group of writers who, by their ideas and in some cases active political commitment, belong to the radical movement which developed in England in the second half of the eighteenth century, gained impetus and structure in the wake of the French Revolution, and collapsed at the end of the decade when faced with repression from the government of William Pitt. Radical novelists, many of whom, like William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft and John Thelwall, were philosophers and pamphleteers before they took to novel-writing, flew to the defence of the rights of man (and of the rights of woman) in the revolution controversy which pitted Thomas Paine against Edmund Burke – and their work bears the mark of the rise and demise of the radical movement. Combining intellectual history with classical narratology, book history, and the social and cultural history of radicalism, this dissertation seeks to highlight the way in which political ideology is built into the very forms of the novels – in the characters’ speech and the characters themselves, in the novels’ plot and narration type, in their style and publishing format, as well as in their meaningful silences. Such a study brings to light, rather than a coherent radical ideology, a recurring tension between two versions of radicalism, liberal and jacobin, bourgeois and plebeian, whose partly conflicting conjunction assumes different shapes from one novelist to the other and between the early 1780s and late 1790s, as radical hopes of reform sink under the conservative backlash

Abstract:

O final do século XVIII pautou-se por um intenso debate sobre a educação feminina, questão que constituiu um primeiro passo no desafio à “Lei do Costume”, a qual perpetuava a inferioridade das mulheres em relação aos homens. Assim, a defesa do direito à educação enquadra-se num plano mais amplo de reivindicações, o da defesa da igualdade intelectual, servindo de esteio a posteriores movimentos de índole política. De facto, o Feminismo em Inglaterra está intimamente ligado à questão da educação feminina, como o percurso literário de várias escritoras atesta. Seguindo uma já longa tradição literária, encontramos em Setecentos uma vasta ensaística apologética acerca do estatuto e da participação da mulher na sociedade. Até aí, as mulheres eram consideradas as guardiãs da moral e dos bons costumes, desempenhando um papel fulcral na manutenção da estabilidade doméstica e social. No caso do século XVIII, algumas pensadoras passam a almejar objectivos mais vastos e de maior relevância para o colectivo, uma vez que acreditavam que os defeitos tradicionalmente atribuídos às mulheres não eram um produto biológico, isto é, não eram inerentes à sua condição feminina, mas antes um produto social, fruto da sua educação e do seu lugar no seio da sociedade. Educar constituía, assim, a ponte entre a formação ética do indivíduo, incluindo a mulher, e a acção cívica, de contributo social, apontando, potencialmente, para a participação feminina na esfera pública. O estudo que propomos visa uma análise de propostas de modelos de educação feminina no final do século, nomeadamente de Mary Wollstonecraft, Catharine Macaulay e Hannah More. Trata-se de um momento em que vêm a prelo numerosas publicações, com a Revolução Francesa de 1789 a funcionar como o despertar de consciências e a ruptura com as normas estipuladas tendo um quinhão muito importante no desenvolvimento das mentalidades relativamente às necessidades educacionais femininas. Apesar de estes esforços terem ficado em boa medida comprometidos na época vitoriana, altura em que se verifica um refrear das contestações femininas e um retorno ao papel tradicional da mulher, os esforços envidados em final de Setecentos iriam revelar-se importantes para uma nova mudança de mentalidades. Os passos das pioneiras setecentistas, ainda que tímidos e insuficientes, apontam já para uma igualdade a nível político, social e económico, a ser concretizada apenas mais de um século depois, com a participação feminina no espaço público, partilhando a toma de decisões quanto aos destinos da nação, ou seja, exercendo uma cidadania plena, fruto de uma longa luta com as autoridades investidas de poder.
