WHAT IS BLUESTOCKINGS?
Blue·stock·ing n. a person with strong scholarly or literary interests; in the past this term was used derogatorily towards educated women.Bluestockings is the first feminist-minded publication based at Brown. We write (about) issues from a gender-aware and intersectional perspective. We believe feminism is not a rigid set of guidelines or restrictive beliefs, but instead contains a fluid spectrum of definitions that can be negotiated through the creative process. It is a malleable perspective that is both personal and public. We will not try to answer the question, “What is feminism,” but rather, “What can feminism be?” We believe feminism can be a generative process that has relevant and productive ties to every other area of study. We openly accept and encourage submissions from a range of backgrounds and identities. We accept work from every genre, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, comedy, and academic writing focusing on culture, politics, sex, and health.
