Throughout much of her early journalism, Djuna Barnes reconstructs the roles that women hold in the modern city. I discuss Barnes’s articles that focus on leisure and entertainment, where she reworks the conversation surrounding women’s presence and mobility in public and normalizes the female urban experience. Barnes is subversive in her ability to locate women in new and emerging places of public mass entertainment and modern city life and her stories are grounded in the physically built environment, exposing the everyday scenes of the city to her readers. Barnes borrows techniques from flânerie throughout her journalism to document the changing urban geographies that resulted in women’s new agencies and mobilities within the modernist city. Women’s experience of the city is crucial to understanding how transformations associated with modernity occurred and reverberated across society and Barnes’s portrayal of women’s leisure and entertainment at the turn-of-the-century provides a rich account of the gendered aspects of modernity in urban settings.
