About

The Feminist inter/Modernist Association (FiMA) is the supporting professional organization for the journal Feminist Modernist Studies. FiMA offers support to scholars working on women writers, feminists, and culture-makers of the late 19th through the mid-20th century (1870-1970). The association provides a network for scholars who seek to recognize and remedy the gaps in literary and historical scholarship that leave out women writers and culture-makers who have fallen out of print or who tend to be overshadowed by their contemporaries. By opening up space for discussions about the limitations of period and genre on women’s literary and cultural history, FiMA members actively rethink categories and definitions of modernism, modernity, and cultural studies from a feminist perspective. FiMA is non-exclusionary and open to researchers, teachers, common readers who are committed to feminist work pertaining to the long 20th century’s culture.
