"This book brings together feminist histories in education with an
innovative approach to epistolary narrative analytics. In deploying
the notion of the epistolary bildung the author rigorously and
eloquently shows how the correspondence of Barbara Bodichon can
shed fresh light in a range of personal problems and public issues
in women's lives, which remain relevant today" - Maria Tamboukou,
Professor of Feminist Studies, University of East London, UK This
book assesses Barbara Bodichon's significance in the history of the
women's movement in Britain by elaborating a conceptualisation of
letters as sources of feminist development. Bodichon was the leader
of the first women's suffrage committee in England, which collected
1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote - a petition
presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support
the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill. This book explores the
significance of letter-exchange in Barbara Bodichon's feminist
becoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures
by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the
country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly
to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted,
redefined and challenged circulating discourses - transforming them
in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist
knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with
her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender
history and history of women's education, this book explores the
significance of letter-exchange in Bodichon's development into one
of the galvanizing figures of the women's rights movement in
Victorian England.
