Debates such as the one taken up here on the future of women’s literature in modernist studies define the peculiar temporality of feminism. The temporality of feminism, it seems, is consumed by frequently recurring moments of questioning its current relevance. Detailing various positions on the question of the place of women’s writing in the new modernist studies, these seven essays model again and again strategies for feminist modernist scholarship. Insofar as this cluster of essays provides numerous examples of how feminist work is being carried out in modernist studies today, this debate confirms that the end of feminism seems always to be anticipated too soon.
