A critical narrative of how gender norms and the modernist movement shaped one another
in the early 20th century, using vivid case studies. Gendering Modernism offers a
critical reappraisal of the modernist movement, asking how gender norms of the time
shaped the rebellion of the self-avowed modernists and examining the impact of radical
gender reformers on modernism. Focusing primarily on the connections between North
American and European modernists, Maria Bucur explains why it is imperative that we
consider the gender angles of modernism as a way to understand the legacies of the
movement. She provides an overview of the scholarship on modernism and an analysis
of how definitions of modernism have evolved with that scholarship. Interweaving vivid
case studies from before the Great War to the interwar period - looking at individual
modernists from Ibsen to Picasso, Hannah Höch to Josephine Baker - she covers various
fields such as art, literature, theatre and film, whilst also demonstrating how modernism
manifested itself in the major social-political and cultural shifts of the 20th century,
including suffragist feminism, psychology, sexology, eugenics, nudism, anarchism,
communism and fascism. This is a fresh and wide-ranging investigation of modernism
which expands our definition of the movement, integrating gender analysis and thereby
opening up new lines of enquiry. Written in a lively and accessible style, Gendering
Modernism is a crucial intervention into the literature which should be read by all
students and scholars of the modernist movement as well 20th-century history and gender
studies more broadly.
