Sinopsis

'This book brings together feminist histories in education with an innovative approach to epistolary narrative analytics. In deploying the notion of theáepistolary bildungáthe author rigorously and eloquently shows how the correspondence of Barbara Bodichon can shed fresh light in a range of personal problems and public issues in womenâÇÖs lives, which remain relevant today'- Maria Tamboukou, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of East London, UKThis book assesses Barbara BodichonâÇÖs significance in the history of the womenâÇÖs movement in Britain by elaborating a conceptualisation of letters as sources of feminist development.áBodichon was the leader of the first womenâÇÖs suffrage committee in England, which collected 1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote - a petition presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill.áThis book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Barbara BodichonâÇÖs feministábecoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted, redefined and challenged circulating discourses - transforming them in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender history and history of womenâÇÖs education, this book explores the significance of letter-exchange in BodichonâÇÖs development into one of the galvanizing figures of the womenâÇÖs rights movement in Victorian England.á
