Description: Foreword by Linda Nochlin. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2011. 24cm., hardcover, 345pp. illus. Summary: The New Woman International is an interpretive study of the pictorial representation of New Womanhood as it emerged from the 1890s through the 1930s. In this period, a range of iconic female types—"girls," neue Frauen, suffragettes, flappers, female sports stars and adventurers, female "transgressors"—came to dominate the global pictorial landscape and epitomize modern femininity. Editors Elizabeth Otto and Vanessa Rocco focus on film and photography as sites of gender construction, moving beyond the national and historical narratives to an examination of the transgressive aspect of the new woman from her emergence in the late 19th century to full development in the interwar period. The essays illustrate chronologically the broad geographical impact of this figure as well as the national and regional differences in representation. With a foreword from the eminent feminist art historian Linda Nochlin, this collection includes contributions by Jan Bardsley, Matthew Biro, Gianna Carotenuto, Melody Davis, Kristine Harris, Karla Huebner, Kristen Lubben, Maria Makela, Elizabeth Otto, Martha H. Patterson, Vanessa Rocco, Clare I. Rogan, Despina Stratigakos, Brett M. Van Hoesen, Kathleen M. Vernon, and Lisa Jaye Young.
