My Great, Wide, Beautiful World
Author: Juanita Harrison
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780756760427
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Juanita Harrison, a black woman born in Mississippi c. 1890, was not a writer by profession, but this, her 1936 autobiographical travelogue has a vividness and energy that transcends her idiosyncratic use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling conventions. After working for years as a domestic, Harrison was employed by a white couple in California who profitably invested virtually all her salary for her for several years. In June 1927, she had enough money to fulfill her dream. Traveling around the world in the late 1920s and early 1930s, she lived in or visited 22 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Polynesia. This volume not only gives the reader a colorful account of a worldwide odyssey but also offers an unforgettable portrait of a remarkable woman.

Playing House in the American West
Author: Cathryn Halverson
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817318038
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Examines an eclectic group of western women’s autobiographical texts—canonical and otherwise—Playing House in the American West argues for a distinct regional literary tradition characterized by strategic representations of unconventional domestic life The controlling metaphor Cathryn Halverson uses in her engrossing study is “playing house.” From Caroline Kirkland and Laura Ingalls Wilder to Willa Cather and Marilynne Robinson, from the mid-nineteenth to the late-twentieth centuries, western authors have persistently embraced wayward or eccentric housekeeping to prove a woman’s difference from western neighbors and eastern readers alike. The readings in Playing House investigate the surprising textual ends to which westerners turn the familiar terrain of the home: evaluating community; arguing for different conceptions of race and class; and perhaps most especially, resisting traditional gender roles. Western women writers, Halverson argues, render the home as a stage for autonomy, resistance, and imagination rather than as a site of sacrifice and obligation. The western women examined in Playing House in the American West are promoted and read as representatives of a region, as insiders offering views of distant and intriguing ways of life, even as they conceive of themselves as outsiders. By playing with domestic conventions, they recast the region they describe, portraying the West as a place that fosters female agency, individuality, and subjectivity.
