{"product_id":"small-change-harriet-guest-9780226310527","title":"Small Change: Women, Learning, Patriotism, 1750-1810","description":"During the second half of the eighteenth century, the social role of educated\u003cbr\u003ewomen and the nature of domesticity were the focus of widespread debate in Britain. The emergence of an identifiably feminist voice in that debate is the subject of Harriet Guest's new study, which explores how small changes in the meaning of patriotism and the relations between public and private categories permitted educated British women to imagine themselves as political subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall Change\u003c\/i\u003e considers the celebration of learned women as tokens of national progress in the context of a commercial culture that complicates notions of gender difference. Guest offers a fascinating account of the women of the bluestocking circle, focusing in particular on Elizabeth Carter, hailed as the paradigmatic learned and domestic woman. She discusses the importance of the American war to the changing relation between patriotism and gender in the 1770s and 1780s, and she casts new light on Mary Wollstonecraft's writing of the 1790s, considering it in relation to the anti-feminine discourse of Hannah More, and the utopian feminism of Mary Hays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Guest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226310523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226310527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.97w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 1959","brand":"Harriet Guest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913428140287,"sku":"9780226310527","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6a0fed1b-3bbf-4a8e-b72e-d284f0316eba.jpg?v=1680620358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/small-change-harriet-guest-9780226310527","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
