New Woman Hybridities [PDF ebook] 
Femininity, Feminism, and International Consumer Culture, 1880-1930

New Woman Hybridities explores the diversity of meanings ascribed to the turn-of-the-century New Woman in the context of cultural debates conducted within and across a wide range of national frameworks. Individual chapters by international scholars scrutinize the flow of ideas, images and textual parameters of New Woman discourses in the UK, North America, Europe, and Japan, elucidating the national and ethnic hybridity of the ’modern woman’ by locating this figure within both international consumer culture and feminist writing.
