Welcome to the 133rd MLA Annual Convention. Please join us for a panel organized and sponsored by the MLA committee on the status of women in the profession: Bossy Dames: Poetics and Pragmatics of Feminist Leadership.
Addressing theoretical aspects of women’s leadership, participants from a variety of perspectives consider the discourse of living in a postfeminist era, the persistence of gender bias, the idea of “leaning in” as well as its limits, and misogyny in political discourse. What does it mean to be a feminist leader now?
This session is on a comparative or general topic that would be of interest to scholars from across languages and fields or is on a topic not tied to a particular nationality, language, or cultural tradition.
