This book uses the tools of the arts, humanities, social sciences,
and other fields to address challenges faced by women and girls
around the world, both historically and in modern day, with an
emphasis on intersectionality.
Serious literary artists such T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia
Woolf loom large in most accounts of the literary art of the first
half of the 20th century. And yet, working in the shadows casts by
these modernists were science fiction, horror, and fantasy writers
like "the Weird Tales Three": H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith,
and Robert E. Howard. These three writers did not publish in
artistically ambitious little magazines like The Dial, The Smart
Set and The Little Review, but instead in commercial pulp magazines
like Weird Tales. Contrary to stereotypes about pulp fiction and
those who wrote it, however, the Weird Tales Three were serious
literary artists that used their fiction to speculate about
philosophical questions, the function of art, and the brevity of
life.
The Intersectionality of Women's Lives and Resistance uses the
tools of the arts, humanities, social sciences, and other fields to
address challenges faced by women and girls around the world, both
historically and in modern day, with an emphasis on
intersectionality. Contributors offer interdisciplinary analyses of
how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and
other identity markers in complex ways, and how these are tied to
the interconnected nature of systems of oppression, power, and
privilege.
