Contemporary Depictions Of Famine And Disaster Are Dominated By Female Images. The Feminization Of Famine Examines These Representations, Exploring, In Particular, The Literature Arising From The Irish Great Famine Of The 1840S And The Bengali Famine Of The 1940S. Kelleher Illuminates Recurring Motifs: The Prevalence Of Mother And Child Images, The Scrutiny Of Womens Starved Bodies, And The Reliance On The Female Figure To Express The Largely Inexpressible Reality Of Famine. Questioning What Gives These Particularly Feminine Images Their Affective Power And Analyzing The Responses They Generate, This Historical Critique Reveals Striking Parallels Between These Two Great Famines And Current Representations Of Similar Natural Disasters And Catastrophes.Kelleher Begins With A Critical Reading Of The Novels And Short Stories Written About The Irish Famine Over The Last 150 Years, From The Novels Of William Carleton And Anthony Trollope To The Writings Of Liam Oflaherty And John Banville. She Then Moves On To Unveil A Lesserknown Body Of Literatureworks Written By Women. This Literature Is Read In The Context Of A Rich Variety Of Other Sources, Including Eyewitness Accounts, Memoirs, Journalistic Accounts, And Famine Historiography. Concluding With A Reading Of The Twentiethcentury Accounts Of The Famine In Bengal, This Book Reveals How Gendered Representations Have Played A Crucial Role In Defining Notions Of Famine.
