Feminist publishing against the pandemic

Abstract

ABSTRACT The special issue “Feminist Publishing Against the Pandemic” features essays from thirteen contributors whose work would have been presented at “FiMA2: Feminist Revolutions,” the second conference of the Feminist inter/Modernist Association (FiMA), originally scheduled for Spring 2020, rescheduled, and eventually canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. By soliciting snapshot essays of no more than 2000 words, the editors of the issue are able to showcase a wide range of feminist modernist scholarship in danger of being lost due to the constraints of the pandemic and a profession in crisis. Authors included in the special issue engage with modern women writers, artists, and culture-makers who navigated their own constraints such as fighting for suffrage, managing domestic and professional commitments, responding to two world wars, and continuing feminist work in the post-war years. This collection of essays highlights vibrancy and complexity in the field of feminist modernist scholarship.
