The Grasinski Girls

The Choices They Had and the Choices They Made

By: Mary Patrice Erdmans

The Grasinski Girls were working-class Americans of Polish descent, born in the 1920s and 1930s, who created lives typical of women in their day. They went to high school, married, and had children. For the most part, they stayed home to raise their children. And they were happy doing that. They took care of their appearance and their husbands, who took care of them. Like most women of their generation, they did not join the women’s movement, and today they either reject or shy away from feminism. Basing her account on interviews with her mother and aunts, Mary Erdmans explores the private lives of these white, Christian women in the post-World War II generation. She compares them, at times, to her own postfeminist generation. Situating these women within the religious routines that shaped their lives, Professor Erdmans explores how gender, class, ethnicity, and religion shaped the choices the Grasinski sisters were given as well as the choices they made. These women are both acted upon and actors; they are privileged and disadvantaged; they resist and surrender; they petition the Lord and accept His will. The Grasinski Girls examines the complexity of ordinary lives, exposing privileges taken for granted as well as nuances of oppression often overlooked. Erdmans brings rigorous scholarship and familial insight to bear on the realities of twentieth-century working-class white women in America.

Major Fiction of William Gilmore Simms

Cultural Traditions and Literary Form

Major Fiction of William Gilmore Simms

Cultural Traditions and Literary Form

By: Mary Ann Wimsatt

William Gilmore Simms (1806–1870) was the preeminent southern man of letters in the antebellum period, a prolific, talented writer in many genres and an eloquent intellectual spokesman of r his region. During his long career, he wrote plays, poetry, literary criticism, biography and history; but he is best remembered for his numerous novels and tales. Many Ann Wimsatt provides the first significant full-length evaluation of Simms’s achievement in his long fiction, selected poetry, essays, and short fiction. Wimsatt’s chief emphasis is on the thirty-odd novels that Simms published from the mid-1830s until after the Civil War. In bringing his impressive body of work to life, she makes use of biographical and historical information and also of twentieth-century literary theories of the romance, Simm’s principal genre. Through analyses of such seminal works as Guy Rivers, The Yemassee, The Cassique of Kiawah, and Woodcraft, Wimsatt illuminates Simm’s contributions to the romance tradition—contributions misunderstood by previous critics—and suggests how to view his novels within the light of recent literary criticism. She also demonstrates how Simms used the historical conditions of southern culture as well as events of his own life to flesh out literary patterns, and she analyzes his use of low-country, frontier and mountain settings. Although critics praised Simms early in his career as “the first American novelist of the day,” the panic of 1837 and the changes in the book market that it helped foster severely damaged his prospects for wealth and fame. The financial recession, Wimsatt finds, together with shifts in literary taste, contributed to the decline of Simms’s reputation. Simms attempted to adjust to the changing climate for fiction by incorporating two modes of nineteenth-century realism, the satiric portrayal of southern manners and southern backwoods humor, into the framework of his long romances; but his accomplishments in these areas have been undervalued or misunderstood by critics since is time. Wimsatt’s book is the first to survey Simms’s fiction and much of his other writing against the background of his life and literary career and the first to make extensive use of his immense correspondence. It is an important study of a neglected author who once served as the leafing symbol of literary activity in the South. It fills what has heretofore been a serious gap in southern literary studies.

Radical Advocate

Radical Advocate

Ida B. Wells and the Road to Race and Gender Justice

By: Mary E Triece

Born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1862, Ida B. Wells emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a singularly dynamic national voice on behalf of racial, social, and gender equity. A journalist, teacher, and activist, she campaigned endlessly against racial violence and inequity and on behalf of women's rights and suffrage. In "Radical Advocate," Mary E. Triece pinpoints the persuasive strategies that typified Wells's efforts to shape broader cultural conversations concerning those causes. Triece highlights especially Wells's role as a radical embodied advocate, who Triece defines as one who occupies a marginalized social position; whose daily experiences, physical well-being, and mobility are shaped by social justice issues; and who must utilize non-traditional rhetorical strategies to push for deeply rooted social change. "Embodiment" suggests bodily visibility, and seeing the physical body as marked in ways that carry political and physical implications based on race, sex, gender, and class. In the context of the early 1900s, racial segregation and hysteria over race-mixing impacted bodies in every aspect of one's public and personal life, from where one lived and worked to whom and how one loved. To demonstrate the ways radical embodied advocacy occurs across various platforms, Triece examines Wells's speeches, pamphlets, and newspaper and magazine articles. For Wells, white violence was palpable and personal, experienced on her body and carried in her mind and heart. White men lynched Wells's friends, threatened her life, and forced her into exile after they destroyed the press for which she wrote and edited. From this perspective, Wells understood lynching as linked to white economic and political control. Furthermore, Triece presents Wells's radical embodied advocacy as one of the first forms of "intersectional journalism," a type of citizen journalism wherein the advocate raises up and centers the voices of those experiencing interlocking forms of oppression. Triece underscores the epistemic challenges faced by rhetors, such as Black women, who speak from marginalized social positions and who advance claims that do not align with culturally accepted frames for knowing and describing events, people, and places. She also bridges philosophy, rhetoric, and Black feminism to examine the epistemological and rhetorical demands facing social change advocates who shed light on injustice, and who simultaneously face deeply entrenched narratives that distort understandings of race and social injustice. Wells argued for deep-rooted change, and her rhetoric stands out because she framed white violence as systemic and intersectional. In the twenty-first century, "Radical Advocate" is even more relevant in the context of contemporary white violence and international movements for racial justice. A rhetorical analysis of Wells's speaking and journalism shows her to be one of the first to emphasize the systemic nature of racism while highlighting the unique ways Black women experienced racist and sexist oppression"--
