The contributions of female artists to the development of literary and artistic modernism in early twentieth century France remain poorly understood. It was during this period that a so-called modern woman began occupying urban spaces associated with the development of modern art and modernism s struggles to define subjectivities and sexualities. Whereas most studies of modernism s formal innovations and its encouragement of artistic autonomy neglect or omit necessary discussions of gender, race, class, and sexual orientation, the contributors of "The Modern Woman Revisited" inject these...

What does it mean to look like a lesbian?

What if we look closely at what does not appear central, or appears peripherally, or does not appear at all, viewing ellipses, outliers, absences, and outtakes as significant?

Building on the author s earlier studies of Gertrude Stein and other lesbians who...
