About this journal

Sustaining a broad international, global, interdisciplinary, and intersectional scope, Feminist Modernist Studies (FMS) stresses theoretical, cultural, formalist, geographical, and archival approaches to feminist modernist writers and producers of art and culture over the long twentieth-century. Emphasizing modern and modernist women alongside gender, sexuality, and feminist issues, the journal offers a much needed venue for: ongoing work in the burgeoning, feminist areas of cultural and global studies; the continued recovery of under explored or “lost” women writers, artists, and cultural producers across all races and ethnicities; and new developments in feminist critical theory including feminist work in trans studies, critical Black studies, disability studies, decolonial studies, animal studies, ecocriticism, queer theory, transnational approaches, the anthropocene, affect theory, posthumanism, among others.

Embracing the long twentieth-century, Feminist Modernist Studies offers an extended historical scope, reaching from the 1870s to the early 1970s. The journal is not limited to women modernists, but welcomes submissions on feminist modernists of all genders and sexualities (LGBTQIA+) from around the world. We also invite submissions on male modernists creating in relation to women, feminism, and theory, for example, through representations of the female body in cultural productions, authorial collaborations and editorial relationships, and engagement with feminist issues.

At this time, we are inviting four types of articles:

1. Original, academic essays of no more than 9,000 words;
2. Shorter position papers on the state of/future of feminist modernist studies in any area of 2,500-6,250 words;
3. Submissions for our regular 'Out of the Archives' section comprising a formerly unpublished or untranslated work and introduction by the submitting author totalling no more than 9,000 words;
4. Submissions for our regular 'From the Feminist Classroom' section offering pedagogical reflections on feminist modernist studies in the classroom in the area of 2,500-6,250 words.
   

Peer Review Policy:
All peer review is double anonymous and submissions are typically reviewed by two referees.
