    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:
