MISSION STATEMENT

Who is this New Woman, this epicene creature, this Gorgon set up by the snarly who impute to her all the faults of both sexes while denying her the charm of either–where is she to be found if she exists at all? – Sarah Grand

THE LATCHKEY is affiliated with THE OSCHOLARS (www.oscholars.com), a scholarly website committed to examining the many social, literary and cultural expressions of the fin de siècle in cosmopolitan fashion. The publisher is The Rivendale Press.

THE LATCHKEY is devoted to the concept of the New Woman, covering the lives and writings of New Women authors and figures, the representation of the New Woman in literature, culture, art, and society, proto-feminism and early feminist journalism, and current innovative scholarship on the New Woman. While the term ‘New Woman’ originated in England, the cultural phenomenon extended beyond Britain and we wish to explore its presence (or reasons for its absence) and influence in other countries and across disciplines.

Among our items of interest are peer-reviewed scholarly articles (starting with THE LATCHKEY’s issue 3, Spring 2010); relevant publication and conference news and announcements; reviews of books and plays or films; an ongoing New Woman Bibliography, a “Who’s Who” page, and an image gallery; abstracts of current articles and doctoral theses; and a teaching forum for the informal exchange of ideas and course or assignment designs.

We warmly welcome suggestions and feedback from our readers. Please send all enquiries to
