Intercontinental Crosscurrents:Women’s Networks across Europe and the Americas (Winter, 2016)

Edited by Julia Nitz, Sandra H. Petrulionis, Theresa Schön

From the Intercontinental Crosscurrents Website: “First presented at the conference ‘Intercontinental Cross-Currents: Women’s (Net-)Works across Europe and the Americas (1789–1939)’ in Wittenberg, Germany, in December 2013, the papers assembled in this volume trace nineteenth-century women’s networks inside and outside historical movements and literary texts, in diverse genres, at various historical moments, and from different vantage points.

Considered together, the contributions attest to the potential of a woman-centered approach to transatlantic historiographical, cultural, and literary studies. Very much like the people, texts, and objects they  examine, they are transatlantic in scope and perspective. Truly inspired by the idea and concept of the Atlantic Crosscurrents, these  essays confirm and emphasize interdisciplinarity and methodological variety in (trans-)Atlantic studies.”

Khristeena’s article, “Between Grace and Grit: Grace King’s American Heroine and Transatlantic Foremothers” is Chapter 8.
