The Florence Howe Award for Outstanding Feminist Scholarship,
created in 1974, has played a major role in establishing the
legitimacy and visibility of feminist inquiry. The early
award-winning essays are available in the MLA volume Courage and
Tools. This volume presents the seventeen essays that won the award
for the years 1990-2004, an era that witnessed a diversification of
the objects of feminist study and critical approaches. Essays treat
authors ranging from well-known writers such as Jane Austen,
Charlotte Bronte, Gwendolyn Brooks, Doris Lessing, and Virginia
Woolf to less familiar writers such as the Magreb author Assia
Djebar, the Spanish poet Concha Mendez, the Native American writer
Zitkala-Sa, and the Palestinian novelists Liana Badr and Sahar
Khalifeh. Essayists explore their topics through a multiplicity of
perspectives, including race and ethnicity studies, cultural
studies, psychoanalysis and film theory, nationhood and
nationalism, and discourses of aging. Each award winner has written
a short afterword, reflecting on her essay and her critical
practice.
The volume includes a foreword by Florence Howe, cofounder of
the Feminist Press, and an afterword by Annette Kolodny, an early
recipient of the Florence Howe award.
