At the heart of Gilman’s lifelong interest in physical culture, the idea of movement, which she also conceived in geographical terms, became increasingly intertwined with her belief in the progress of the human race. This essay explores the contradictions of Gilman’s thought about the “mobility” of the female body as the Victorian “somatistic” approach held enduring sway over her emancipatory project.

Abstract
At the heart of Gilman’s lifelong interest in physical culture, the idea of movement, which she also conceived in geographical terms, became increasingly intertwined with her belief in the progress of the human race. This essay explores the contradictions of Gilman’s thought about the “mobility” of the female body as the Victorian “somatistic” approach held enduring sway over her emancipatory project.File in questo prodotto:
