[In this book, the author] focuses on women's bodies as a site for their public self-construction. Rather then relying on familiar binaries such as public/ private and victim/agent, Piepmeier presents women's public embodiment as multiple, transitional, strategic, playful, and contested. Piepmeier looks closely at the lives and works of actress and playwright Anna Cora Mowatt (1819-1871), Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), abolitionist and feminist orator Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), antilynching journalist Ida B. Wells (1862-1931), and Godey's Lady's Book editor Sarah Josepha Hale (1788-1879). Piepmeier's analysis of these women places their written documents in conjunction with salient cultural contexts, including freak shows, scientific writing, tall tales, and popular visual images of athletic women. By destablizing and complicating traditional binary categories, Piepmeier makes culturally obscured or unreadable aspects of women's lives visible, offering a more complete understanding of nineteenth-century female corporeality"--Publisher description. 648 7 19th century|2fast 650 0 Human body|xSocial aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009103100|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012475 650 0 Human body|xSymbolic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh92004043|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Women|xPhysiology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85147329|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Women|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010118664|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012475 650 0 Women|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147355|xPublic opinion.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006218 650 0 Women in popular culture|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010118877|xHistory |y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Public opinion|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010107072 650 7 Human body|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1730101 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Human body|xSymbolic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1730109 650 7 Women|xPhysiology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1176876 650 7 Women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1176568 650 7 Public opinion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1082785 650 7 Women in popular culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1177953 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 856 41 |3Table of contents only|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ ecip0417/2004009062.html 856 42 |3Publisher description|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/ enhancements/fy0632/2004009062-d.html 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 486636 948 |d2010212|cMH|tcheck 520|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
