摘要

Accusations of sexual impropriety have been used against women public speakers at least since the Renaissance, and nineteenth-century America was no exception. In constructing public personae that worked with prevailing gender ideologies, women tried to preserve the appearance of sexual purity. This concern for chastity carried over into fictional representations of women public speakers. While some authors depicted such figures negatively, the three examined here—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Louisa May Alcott, and Frances E. W. Harper—all defended the woman public speaker by providing warrants within the narrative structure for her chastity and by giving her a public mission that was appropriately feminine according to nineteenth-century gender ideology. These women authors also provided a utopian moment in their narratives in which the social benefits of allowing their protagonists to speak in public are dramatized. Studying the literary representations of women speakers, in any era, can help to illuminate the cultural milieu in which such women made their way.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02773945.2010.501050
机译:至少自文艺复兴时期以来,就对女性演讲者使用了性不当行为的指控,而19世纪的美国也不例外。在构建与主流性别意识形态相适应的公众人物时,女性试图保持性纯洁的外观。这种对贞操的关注变成了虚构的女性演说家。尽管有些作者对这些数字进行了负面描述,但这里的三位研究者(伊丽莎白·斯图尔特·菲尔普斯,路易莎·梅·奥尔科特和弗朗西斯·埃·哈珀)都通过在叙事结构中为她的贞操提供证词并向她公开表示辩护,为女议长辩护。根据19世纪的性别意识形态,该任务具有适当的女性化。这些女性作家还在叙事中提供了一个乌托邦式的时刻,其中戏剧化了允许主角在公共场合讲话的社会利益。在任何时代,研究女性演讲者的文学表现形式都可以帮助阐明这些女性所处的文化环境。查看全文下载全文netvibes,推特,technorati,可口,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,更多”,发布:“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02773945.2010.501050
