{"product_id":"her-own-voice-anne-e-fernald-9780807021330","title":"Her Own Voice","description":"With Virginia Woolf as a guide, the stories of eight radical 20th century women--wanderers, rebels, explorers, mentors--who made a life for themselves in spite of everything.\nEverything that changed in the 20th century changed more dramatically for women. Her Own Voice tells the stories of eight radical women who responded to social oppression and helped create the modernist movement.\nAs we witness the strong resurgence of trad wife popularity in modern culture, this book calls on women of every generation to actively wrestle with old ideas about what it means to be \"good\" and even \"lovable.\" Anne E. Fernald, world-renowned Virginia Woolf scholar, argues that the stories we read shape the lives we imagine for ourselves, and offers these stories as possible templates for living boldly and creatively.\nAmong the women featured are:\nMargaret Wise Brown, groundbreaking author of Goodnight Moon\nJessie Redmon Fauset, prolific novelist of the Harlem Renaissance\nDorothy Arzner, the only woman director to make the transition from silent to sound films\nThe women in this book encompass a wide range of diverse identities: Black, white, Asian, lesbian, queer, straight, mothers, aunts, teachers; novelists; poets, filmmakers, musicians, producers. Altogether, they provide an inspirational reminder that the social and political upheaval of our time is nothing new; women have been working to overcome enormous barriers in the name of their art throughout history.","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52201656418592,"sku":"9780807021330","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780807021330_3054353.jpg?v=1787028119","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/her-own-voice-anne-e-fernald-9780807021330","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
