Reading the Bibliographies of the Women’s Rest Tour Association: Cultural Travel in the Long Nineteenth Century by Julia Carlson

“…These bibliographies expose a duality within the organization that balances a progressive feminism with a deep-seated cultural and social conservatism. They exhibit strong support for women writers and educational reading as a tool for personal empowerment at the same time that they show a commitment to the cultural authority of Boston and the British Isles and reveal a notable degree of class bias and ethnic prejudice.…”

Admissibility Analysis of a Sampled-Data Singular System Based on the Input Delay Approach by Guoquan Chen, Minjie Zheng, Shenhua Yang, Lina Li

“…Then, when estimating the derivative of the LKF, a relaxation variable is introduced by the method of reciprocally convex inequality, and it is proved that the conservatism is reduced. Finally, two numerical examples are given to prove that the designed sampled-data controller can ensure the states of the systems under the influence of external interference.…”

Ambivalence and Ambiguity in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Monica Michlin

“…This close reading of the text highlights how Miss Jane, in her double role as protagonist and narrator, shows considerable ambivalence towards friend and foe alike, with the result that the apparently transparent ideological meaning of entire episodes is blurred by what some critics have merely put down to “conservatism.” I examine Miss Jane’s almost constant suppression of emotion, and frequent displays of ambivalence towards other black people; her ambiguous relationship to oppressive, but familiar whites like Albert Cluveau or Robert Samson; and her conflicted relation to black heroes and heroics. …”
