Representing Femininity: Middle-Class Subjectivity in Victorian and Edwardian Women's Autobiographies - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book analyzes the relationship between women's experience and the social institutions and cultural forms in which that experience is publicly represented. Challenging the assumption that middle-class women were confined solely to domesticity, Corbett examines the rhetorical strategies of self-representation by women who participated in public life. She discusses autobiographies by religious women writers, secular writers, Victorian actresses, and suffragettes, engaging some of the central issues in feminist criticism and politics while opening to view a broad range of self-representation that has been unduly slighted in feminist historical, cultural, and literary analysis.

From the Dust Jacket: "Corbett's study explores the relationship between women's experience and the social institutions and cultural forms in which that experience is publicly represented. Challenging the assumption that middle-class Victorian and Edwardian women were confined solely to domesticity, Corbett examines the rhetorical strategies of self-representation by women who participated in public life. Considering works by autobiographers of the suffrage movement, Corbett shows how feminist activists used their texts to critique the dominant model of bourgeois individualism in both political and autobiographical terms. [S]he opens to view a broad range of self-representation by women that have been unduly slighted in feminist historical, cultural, and literary analysis."
