An examination of comedy and feminism in the works of early women
British novelists.
At a time when overt feminist statements could ruin a woman's
reputation, comedy enabled certain authors to smuggle feminism into
their writing. Laughing Feminism sheds light on the ways in which
Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, and Jane Austen enlisted the power
of comedy in the service of feminism, and in so doing participated
in one of the most important ideological movements of the last
three hundred years. It offers modern scholars a new look at
feminist tactics as it brings to light a lost chapter in the
history of comedy.
