Amazons and Afterwards: Correspondence as Feminist Practice

  • Lydia Fellgett
Chapter

Abstract

Reading Betty Miller’s 1958 essay ‘Amazon and Afterwards’ as a site of female correspondence, this chapter seeks to understand the ways in which the epistolary form can be a vital space for feminist practices. It contextualizes Miller’s essay among other letters written in the 1950s such as those by Edith Summerskill and Sylvia Plath.
