CALL FOR PAPERS
Women's Writing . The Elizabethan to Victorian Period
Special Edition on: Sex, Sexuality and The Body
We are looking for papers on women who wrote about sex, sexual
activities and/or sexuality. This could be either through diaries,
letters, articles, manuals or novels. We want to know what woman thought
of contemporary sexual attitudes and activities and what their knowledge
was of sexual matters.
Topics could range from women's notions on procreative sexual activities
to their writings in the form of racy memoirs or bawdy poems. They could
include female physicians, lesbians, prostitutes, mothers and wives.
What did women think about medical advice of the day? What did they
think of their own and others' bodies? Did women tell about their sexual
activites with either their husbands or lovers?
Manuscripts should be ideally between 3000-10000 words and should be
sent to:
