Despite women missionaries being ubiquitous in the nineteenth century, they appeared to be absent from nineteenth-century literature. As this book demonstrates, though, the female missionary character and narrative was, in fact, present in a range of writings from missionary newsletters and life writing, to canonical Victorian literature, New Woman fiction and women’s college writing. Nineteenth-century women writers wove the tropes of the female missionary figure and plot into their domestic fiction, and the female missionary themes of religious self-sacrifice and heroism formed the subjectivity of these writers and their characters. Offering an alternative narrative for the development of women writers and early feminism, as well as a new reading of \u003cem\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/em\u003e, this book adds to the debate about whether religious women in the nineteenth century could actually be radical and feminist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600509493486,"sku":"9781032366227","price":235.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/women-s-writing-and-mission-in-the-nineteenth-century-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
