CFP: “Activist, Feminist, and Writer: Examining the Legacy of Maria W. Stewart”
In September 1832, Maria W. Stewart became the first African American female political writer in the United States. Using history, the Bible, and her African heritage to frame her texts, Stewart’s work represents early examples of classic Black Nationalist and feminist ideology. This panel seeks to examine the legacy of Maria W. Stewart as a feminist, social critic, and writer, and her speeches as part of the African American oral and written tradition. Papers on any aspect of her work are also welcome. Please send one-page abstracts (300-500 words) to Fran L. Lassiter, University of the District of Columbia, at flassiter@netzero.net.
Deadline: September 15, 2008
