Although the suffrage campaign is often associated in popular memory with oratory, this anthology affirms that suffragists recognized early on that literature could also exert a power to move readers to imagine new roles for women in the public sphere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Uncovering startling affinities between popular literature and propaganda, \u003ci\u003eTreacherous Texts\u003c\/i\u003e samples a rich, decades-long tradition of suffrage literature created by writers from diverse racial, class, and regional backgrounds. Beginning with sentimental fiction and polemic, progressing through modernist and middlebrow experiments, and concluding with post-ratification memoirs and tributes, this anthology showcases lost and neglected fiction, poetry, drama, literary journalism, and autobiography; it also samples innovative print cultural forms devised for the campaign, such as valentines, banners, and cartoons. Featured writers include canonical figures as well as writers popular in their day but, until now, lost to ours.\u003cp\u003eIncludes writings by: \u003cbr\u003e- Sojourner Truth \u003cbr\u003e- Elizabeth Cady Stanton \u003cbr\u003e- Frederick Douglass \u003cbr\u003e- Fanny Fern \u003cbr\u003e- Harriet Beecher Stowe \u003cbr\u003e- Djuna Barnes \u003cbr\u003e- Charlotte Perkins Gilman \u003cbr\u003e- Marianne Moore \u003cbr\u003e- Sui Sin Far \u003cbr\u003e- Edna St. Vincent Millay \u003cbr\u003e- Gertrude Stein \u003cbr\u003eAnd many others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813553535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.37w x 0.93d","brand":"Mary Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43418241269941,"sku":"9780813553535","price":27.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c04295a7-f374-4cde-86d3-cc299f0c329d.jpg?v=1703003562","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/treacherous-texts-an-anthology-of-us-suffrage-literature-1846-1946-9780813553535","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
