    Letter from Mrs. Martha (M. B.) Haven of Cleveland, Ohio, to Frances Casement, September 25th, 1884. Haven encloses petitions and requests Casement's assistance in collecting names to protest the decision of Adelbert College to close admission to women. Adelbert College (originally named Western Reserve College) would go on to stop admitting women in 1888; female students were instead enrolled in the College for Women of Western Reserve University, though the two schools continued to cooperate closely for years.

    Misogyny, misandry, and misanthropy

    No full text
    These essays, originally comprising an issue of Representations , explore the relation between gender, eroticism, and violence through close analysis of a range of both high and popular cultural forms, from R. Howard Bloch on medieval theology to Carol Clover on contemporary slasher films. Does misogyny differ from misandry? Can author intention be separated from social context? Do good women counterbalance or reenforce the misogyny of negative examples? Is an obsession with women itself misogynistic? These questions are approached from various angles by Joel Fineman, Charles Bernheimer, Jacqueline Lichtenstein, Frances Ferguson, Naomi Schor and Gillian Brown. In sum, the authors detail not only the ways in which gender is represented, but also the changes to which representation subjects questions of sexual difference
