Abstract

Th is issue of Frontiers honors the fortieth anniversary of the journal by show- casing a range of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship as well as artwork, poetry, and conversations about feminist activism. Th e authors and artists in this issue utilize a variety of methodologies and converse across disciplinary fi elds to explore central questions related to feminist scholarship, namely, sexuality and the body, female representation and subjectivity, and feminist activism. Our fi rst cluster of academic and artist work examines alternative interpre- tations of sexuality and bodily performance in historical contexts and con- temporary practices. Elyse Vigiletti contextualizes the lesbian magazine Th e Ladder in the context of the Cold War. Kellyn J. Johnson archives and analyzes the ambiguous body in Johnny Blazes’ dance performance. And Gail Th acker, whose artwork appears on our cover, uses photography to “distort life,” “exag- gerate time,” and question gender identity. Our next cluster of academic and poetic writings continue the exploration of female subjectivity by analyzing visual and literary texts. Louise Siddons examines eighteenth- century visual representations of motherhood and sci- ence. Robinson Murphy explores the historical fi gure of Catholic prophetess Elizabeth Barton, a central character in Hilary Mantel’s Wolf
