This Companion brings together sixteen new essays which examine, from various perspectives, the social and cultural role of the actress throughout history and across continents. Each essay focuses on a particular stage in her development, for example professionalism in the seventeenth century; the emergence of the actress/critic during the Romantic period and, later on, of the actress as best selling autobiographer; the coming of the drama schools which led to today's emphasis on the actress as a highly-trained working woman. Chapters consider the image of the actress as a courtesan, as a 'muse', as a representative of the 'ordinary' housewife, and as a political activist. The collection also contains essays on forms, genres and traditions - on cross dressing, solo performance, racial constraints, and recent Shakespeare - as well as on the actress in early photography and on film. Its unique range will fascinate, surprise and instruct theatre-goers and students alike.

La Semaine de Suzette a occupé une place à part dans la presse française. Créée en 1905, elle accompagne jusqu’en 1960 les petites filles françaises, suivant leurs interrogations dans un monde en mutation et bouleversé par les guerres. S’adressant à un public féminin et jeune, le journal tente de dessiner à son auditoire, chaque jeudi, les principes d’un monde, certes changeant, mais ordonné et hiérarchisé. Le principe des principes du journal est « l’ordre ». Marie-Anne Couderc décrit parfaitement le système de valeurs de la publication sur la politique nationale, le sytème familial, la hiérarchie sociale et les distractions. Il s’agit par ailleurs d’éduquer en divertissant. Bécassine, Nane ou la poupée Bleuette, chacune à leur manière, viennent rassurer les petites filles ou les mettre en garde face aux mirages du monde. Et il faut tout le talent des crayons et des plumes, des Pinchon, des Morin ou des Caumery, la personnalité des rédactrices successives, notamment de Mad H. Giraud, pour assurer cette tâche régulière d’éveil, de mise en garde et d’éducation… À travers l’étude de Marie-Anne Couderc, La Semaine de Suzette apparaît comme un témoin, peut-être subjectif, mais instructif de la vie des Français, de leurs mœurs et de leurs mentalités.

De vooronderstelling van Confessional Politics, Woman's Sexual Self-Representation in Life Writing en Popular Media is dat in deze tijd alles vertellen in is. De essays in dit boek onderzoeken de associatie van bekentenis met vrouwelijkheid, de functie van bekennen als een gender-specifiek discours en de vele vervrouwelijkte genres en subgenres. De auteurs onderzoeken de creatieve en strategische manieren waarop vrouwen de vertelling van hun seksuele verhalen vormen om de bekentenispraktijken, die ontworpen werd om hen in een conventioneel seksuele structuur te positioneren te weerstaan en te onderhandelen. Het boek beperkt zich niet tot de traditionele bekentenisliteratuur als (erotische) dagboeken, brieven en fictie, maar behandelt ook zaken die een groter publiek bereiken. De auteurs schrijven over talk shows, ongewenste intimiteiten, seksueel misbruik, zelfhulpboeken, travestie, maar ook hedendaagse vrouwenpoëzie, lesbische fictie, performance kunst, het dagboek van Anne Frank en memoires.

Each section is contextualised with a brief historical introduction, and the materials span literary, historical, theological and other narrative and imaginative writing.
