CFP: Women Writing War (1/10/06; SSAWW, 11/8/06-11/11/06)
CFP: Women Writing War (SSAWW, Philadelphia, Nov. 8-11, 2006)
Margaret Fuller, Edith Wharton, and Martha Gellhorn are among notable
American women writers who have written extensively about war. Proposals
are sought for a panel at the 2006 SSAWW conference in Philadelphia
(11/8-11/11/06) that explores the ways in which American women writers have
responded to war. Of particular interest are proposals that investigate
cross-genre practices. Possible topics include the following: war
reportage as literature, war in popular fiction, and war and travel
writing. E-mail one-page proposal and brief biographical statement to
Abbey Zink at zinka_at_wcsu.edu by Jan. 10th.
