Radicals : audacious writings by American women, 1830-1930 / by Stabel, Meredith,1992-Editor(DLC)no2021037479; Turpin, Zachary,Editor(DLC)no2014070637;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Volume one. Fiction, poetry and, drama -- Volume two. Memoir, essays, and oratory.Kate Chopin on pot smoking. Pauline Hopkins on alchemy and the undead. Sui Sin Far on cross-dressing. Emma Lazarus and Angelina Weld Grimke' on lesbian longing. Julia Ward Howe on intersexuality. Perhaps the first of its kind, Radicals is a two-volume collection of writings by American women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with special attention paid to the voices of Black, Indigenous, and Asian American women. In Volume 1: Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, selections span from early works like Sarah Louise Forten's anti-slavery poem "The Grave of the Slave" (1831) and Fanny Fern's Ruth Hall (1855), a novel about her struggle to break into the male-dominated field of journalism, to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's revenge fantasy, "When I Was a Witch" (1910) and Georgia Douglas Johnson's poem on the fraught nature of African American motherhood, "Maternity" (1922). In between, readers will discover many vibrant and challenging lesser-known texts that are rarely collected today. Some, indeed, have been out of print for more than a century. Unique among anthologies of American literature, Radicals undoes such silences by collecting the underrepresented, the uncategorizable, the unbowed-powerful writings by American women of genius and audacity who looked toward, and wrote toward, what Charlotte Perkins Gilman called "a lifted world."
