From the dynamics of narration among women in a variety of settings to an ethnographic analysis of a quilting bee and examination of gender differences in joke telling, the essays are uniformly provocative and groundbreaking."--"Library Journal" The essays in "Women's Folklore, Women's Culture" focus on women performers of folklore and on women's genre of folklore. Long ignored, women's folklore is often collaborative and frequently is enacted in the privacy of the domestic sphere. This book provides insights balancing traditional folklore scholarship.

By turning our attention to previously ignored women's realms, these essays provide a new perspective from which to view human culture as a whole and make "Women's Folklore, Women's Culture" a significant addition to folklore scholarship Publications of the American Folklore Society 1985 260 pages 6 x 9 38 illus.
