The Rise of Caring Power
Author: Annemieke van Drenth
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 9789053563854
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
This original study discusses the role of women in developing and dispersing caring power and, vice-versa, the role of caring power in constituting 'women' as modern social subjects, processes which began around 1800. Based on the historian-/philosopher Foucault's concept of pastoral power, "caring power" also takes into account the vital role played by gender. Both humanitarian and religious motives fostered the ideal of serving the well-being of individual 'others' and thereby the interest of society as a whole. With the rise of caring power, this book argues, women began to feel responsible for 'those of their own sex' and to organize themselves in all-female organizations. In the process they carved out new gender identities for themselves and the women in their care. The authors illustrate this profound historical change with the work of the reformers Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845) and Josephine Butler (1828-1906) and trace their impact in Britain and the Netherlands.

Excerpt from A Brief Memoir of Elizabeth Fry On the page of divine inspiration is inscribed the sacred decree, "The righteous Shall be in everlasting remembrance." This has, doubtless, a special reference to that witness which is in heaven - that record upon high - by which the actions of the just are registered in the "Book of Life: " yet it also indicates that the bright course of those faithful servants of God and benefactors of mankind, who "rest from their labours," and whose "works do follow them," is designed to serve as an ensign throughout succeeding generations; exhibiting, by the force of a holy example, the blessedness and the duty of treading in that pathway of Christian dedication, in which they sought to follow Him who "went about doing good," and who "came to seek and to save that which was lost."
