Description of Research:
My dissertation interrogates the formation of a feminist subject that becomes visible in the nineteenth century in order to understand how the relationship between movement, modernity, and feminism consolidated at this time continues to have ripple effects today. It undertakes a transnational analysis centered on the accounts of British and French women’s travels to Canada and the United States during this time in order to ascertain the influence of women’s experiences abroad in the formation of feminist ideologies; the reception of these texts in their home countries; the role they played in the transnational circulation of ideas about the ‘condition of women’; the intersections between projects of women’s emancipation and imperial goals; and the relationship between representations of the Other and the structural makeup of Western feminisms.
