Feminine Ingenuity $25 What useful things have American women conceived of and developed that have contributed to the progress of technology, science, and engineering? Raise that question, even among educated feminists of the 1990s, and you are likely to be met with a fumbling for names. Raise it among the skeptics of women’s creative talents and they will reply Where, after all, is the historical record? In the Patent Office , replies historian Anne L. Macdonald, author of Feminine Ingenuity. In her engaging and meticulously researched history of American women inventors, she presents not only the official evidence of women’s remarkable achievements contained in two centuries’ worth of Patent Office archives, but also a wealth of material she has discovered in unofficial contemporary accounts of women’s inventions: magazines, journals, lectures, major fairs and expositions, and the manuscripts of several important inventors. Feminine Ingenuity celebrates the achievements of women inventors from Mary Kies, whose 1809 patent for a method of weaving straw was the first issued to a woman, to Gertrude Elion, the Nobel Prize Laureate whose anticancer drugs led to her 1991 election as the first woman in the Inventors Hall of Fame. It is not, however, a litany of accomplishments of previously unsung individual women, for Macdonald doesn’t ignore the downside of women’s struggle. Society, with its relentless assignment of females to the domestic sphere, discouraged mechanically talented girls by barring them from the kind of technical education it lavished upon their brothers. It took the Civil War and the consequent absence of their men to force these alumnae of required cooking and sewing classes to learn notonly to operate farm machinery but to invent major improvements to it. By presenting women inventors against such a historical backdrop, Macdonald keys their experiences to the larger themes of women’s changing economic, political, and social position. This makes Feminine Ingenuity a t |

Herencia $4.8 Herencia (1895) set in the city of Lima during the last decades of the XIX Century, is the third deliberately controversial novel written by Clorinda Matto de Turner (Peru, 1852-1909), well known by then for her novels, Aves sin nido (1889) and Indole (1891), which take place in rural Andean Peru. An experienced writer of essays, historical fiction and biographies, Clorinda Matto had a sociologist’s sharply observant eye, but by 1895, when she published Herencia, Clorinda Matto’s days as an aggressive journalist in Lima were numbered. Only a few months later, she fled into exile in Argentina and never returned to Peru.Herencia, an analysis of class and gender in Lima, told through the stories of six women’s interwoven lives, can be read as Matto’s no-holds-barred exposé of what she really thought of Lima society of the late 1880s, a society in the throes of major changes. In the aftermath of the disastrousWar of the Pacific (1879-83), Peru’s ruling classes struggled to regain and retain their social and political power, but they were challenged by many new circumstances. A flood of modern ideas and commercial products, as well as new immigrants, forced changes, and Lima evolved rapidly, despite resistance. In a world of new department stores, economic possibilities, trains, sewing machines and modern mores, Matto’s women characters struggle to define their lives as they succeed or fail in this society in flux. Matto was fascinated by the new sciences of eugenics and evolution, and the central issues of the novel are related to unresolved debates about the relative importance of Nature (genes, biological inheritance) vs. Nurture (education, environment). Consideredshocking and even pornographic at the time, because of its depiction of women’s sexuality, Herencia remains a vivid analysis of upper, bourgeois, and lower class women’s lives in Lima at a time of unprecedented dramatic social changes.This novel, extensively annotated, with an |
