CFP: Women Writing War (SSAWW, Philadelphia, Nov. 8-11, 2006)

Margaret Fuller, Edith Wharton, and Martha Gellhorn are among
notable American women writers who have written extensively about war.
Proposals are sought for a panel at the 2006 SSAWW conference in Philadelphia
(11/8-11/11/06) that explores the ways in which American women writers have
responded to war. Of particular interest are proposals that investigate cross-genre practices. Possible topics include the following: war reportage as literature, war in popular fiction, and war and travel writing. E-mail one-page proposal and brief biographical statement to
Abbey Zink at zinka@wcsu.edu by Jan. 10th.
