Du milieu du XIXe siècle au Front populaire, la désignation, dans la presse ou dans les bulletins de sociétés savantes, de la « grande voyageuse », puis de l'« exploratrice » et enfin de la « sportive » comme figure emblématique du voyage lointain atteste d'un processus de démocratisation et d'individualisation de l'aventure des femmes. Ce livre se propose de questionner ces glissements terminologiques pour y observer les mécanismes d'élargissement socioculturel d'une pratique féminine de loisir. Ainsi, par la lecture privilégiée de leurs récits de voyage, cette étude souhaite faire apparaître les composantes économiques, les savoir-faire techniques, les organisations intellectuelles et scientifiques, les usages corporels, les modes, les goûts et appétits de ces dames du voyage lointain. À travers l'expérience d'un accident culturel vécu dans l'ailleurs, proposent-elles au retour une autre façon d'être au monde, un autre style de vie ? Histoire de transgressions en somme, d'émancipation, de territoires conquis et perdus, d'indépendance ou d'enfermement, l'histoire des femmes en aventure est toujours associée à des représentations de l'espace lointain, mais aussi à la perspective d'un « autrement » dans un va-et-vient constant dans l'imaginaire, entre l'incertitude d'un devenir et le désenchantement possible de ce qui semble déjà là.

Working with Paper builds on a growing interest in the materials of science by exploring the gendered uses and meanings of paper tools and technologies, considering how notions of gender impacted paper practices and in turn how paper may have structured knowledge about gender. Through a series of dynamic investigations covering Europe and North America and spanning the early modern period to the twentieth century, this volume breaks new ground by examining material histories of paper and the gendered worlds that made them. Contributors explore diverse uses of paper--from healing to phrenological analysis to model making to data processing--which often occurred in highly gendered, yet seemingly divergent spaces, such as laboratories and kitchens, court rooms and boutiques, ladies' chambers and artisanal workshops, foundling houses and colonial hospitals, and college gymnasiums and state office buildings. Together, they reveal how notions of masculinity and femininity became embedded in and expressed through the materials of daily life. Working with Paper uncovers the intricate negotiations of power and difference underlying epistemic practices, forging a material history of knowledge in which quotidian and scholarly practices are intimately linked.

Women are on the move. Traditionally, sport has been a masculine domain, dominated by men and capacities that have culturally been ascribed to men. But this is changing as women?s participation in sport continues to increase throughout the world, their successes are widely celebrated and?fitgirls? have become part of popular culture.0The 2018 'Yearbook of Women?s History' shows muscle: its focus is on sport and sporting bodies: their transgressing practices, representations and impacts on femininities, masculinities and ethnicities. Thirteen articles and two interviews elaborate on the processes that have underpinned these enormous and in many ways gendered changes. What was the role of female pioneers and their supporters? How have issues of gender changed sport and vice versa? And, finally, what transnational and intersectional dynamics of sports have played a role in these transformations?0.
