Women who have dressed as men to embark on a grand adventureto search for a lost husband or simply to escape the dull confines of domestic lifehave enjoyed a long and popular tradition in Western culture.From Newcastle to New Brunswickfolksongs and ballads have celebrated these intrepid heroines who defied all expectations of the weakersex.Reporters biographersstreet performers and the women themselves churned out versions of the female warrior's adventures on the high seas and in battle. Julie Wheelwright recreates and explains the fascination of the female warrior which captivated young women and eveninspired some to undertake similar exploits.Drawing on memoirs lettersdiaries and historical archivesand illustrating her examples with rare sketches and photographsshe traces the career of dozens of women who lived as men.Manylike Valerie Arkell-Smithwho as Colonel Barker passed for a British Army Officercourted and eventually married a Miss Elfreda Hawardbecame 'male' in almost every sense.Otherssuch as Christian DaviesIreland's most famous 18thC soldierreceived poems from adoring women who claimed that 'the Amazonian race begins again'.Emma Edmonds who left her fiance and native Canada to fight in the American Civil War; Hannah Snella sailor in the Royal Navy; Maria Bochkarevaa private in the Tsar'sArmy; and Captain Flora Sandeshero of the Serbian Army whotoured Australiathrilling her audiences with tales of bravery and patriotismare some of the intriguing and rebellious women 'Amazons and Military Maids' brings to light.But Julie Wheelwright also exposes the tensions that thesewomen who livedworked and played as men came to accept as the price of their tentative freedom.They struggled with the contradictions of harbouring both 'male' and 'female' identities within themselves.Although these women have beenthe stuff of myths and legends for centuries only very recently have their stories been treated as important cluesto understanding changing sexual rolespatriotism and the idealogy of war and peace.'Amazons and Military Maids' follows the evolution of the virago in breeches from the height of her popularity in the 1700s to her re-emergence as the nation'a pride and joy during the First World War.The female warrior's challenge to conventionthe way in which her experience is constantly transformed over time toaccommodate appropriate concepts of masculinity and femininityand how women fare in all-male environmentsare just a few of the insights her story offers.

‎Whittaker, Elvi W. (ed.)‎

‎Solitudes of the workplace : women in universities‎

‎xxix, 300 pages ; 24 cm; bibliographical references (pages 247-276) and index. "Solitudes of the Workplace focuses on experiences of marginalization, uncertainty, and segregation created by the hierarchical structures of categories in universities and by gendered identities. Studying a wider range of women's roles in universities than prior research, the experiences of support staff, senior administrators, researchers, non-academic administrators, and contract teachers are added to those of faculty and students. These essays show how attempts to introduce new knowledge are manoeuvred and the resistance this process can encounter, as well as the ways in which institutional policies can blur and change identities. Addressing longstanding issues such as the entanglement of gender and the assessment of merit, attention is also given to how new identities are claimed and successfully projected. Essays presenting workers' points of view reveal the confusion that occurs when official policy and everyday knowledge conflict, when processes like tenure and other status changes create troublesome realities, and when it becomes routine to experience status denigration. Within the social order of the university and its existing boundaries, gender issues of past decades sometimes surface, but all too often remain an unspoken presence. Solitudes of the Workplace is a revealing look at the isolating experiences and inequities inherent in these institutional environments." óPublisher. || Contents: Part one: solitudes and formal knowledge.
