R. Orage from 1907 to 1922) is often mischaracterised as 'anti-feminist' or 'anti-suffragist'. Yet in its early years, this book argues, \u003cem\u003eThe New Age\u003c\/em\u003e served as a crucial forum for feminist fiction and debate largely thanks to the contributions of Beatrice Hastings and Katherine Mansfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToo often, Hastings is relegated to a biographical footnote, and Mansfield's early fiction, if read at all, is divorced from its periodical context. As the first book-length examination of the feminist content of \u003cem\u003eThe New Age\u003c\/em\u003e and of these two writers, this study establishes Hastings' importance to early twentieth-century women's history and literary culture, while enriching our understanding of the feminist debates that shaped Mansfield's writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecovering periodical debates concerning marriage, motherhood, citizenship, and sexuality, this book expands our sense of pre-war modern feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934307926252,"sku":"9781399561853","price":630.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399561853-the-feminist-new-age.jpg?v=1783911160","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-feminist-new-age-by-carey-snyder-9781399561853","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
