The female body, with its history as an object of social control, expectation, and manipulation, is central to understanding the gendered construction of shame. Through the study of 20th-century literary texts, The Female Face of Shame explores the nexus of femininity, female sexuality, the female body, and shame. It demonstrates how shame structures relationships and shapes women's identities. Examining works by women authors from around the world, these essays provide an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective on the representations, theories, and powerful articulations of women's shame.

Elaine Robbins is running out of options. Bills don’t pay themselves, and with her husband John gone, she doesn’t know how she’s going to afford to stay on the island she loves. Renting out her spare rooms to strangers is a scary proposition, but what choice does she have? Besides—after three years of too much quiet in her empty home, maybe a fresh face will help cure her loneliness. But when her first guest, a travel writer named Finn, arrives, she starts to wonder if maybe she made a mistake. He’s handsome and charming and warm—and somehow, those things feel a little bit scary. Starting a new chapter means turning your back on the old one, after all. Is she ready for that?

Moving Beyond Borders is the first book-length history of Black health care workers in Canada, delving into the experiences of thirty-five postwar-era nurses who were born in Canada or who immigrated from the Caribbean either through Britain or directly to Canada. Karen Flynn examines the shaping of these women's stories from their childhoods through to their roles as professionals and community activists. Flynn interweaves oral histories with archival sources to show how these women's lives were shaped by their experiences of migration, professional training, and family life. Theoretical analyses from postcolonial, gender, and diasporic Black Studies serve to highlight the multiple subjectivities operating within these women's lives. By presenting a collective biography of identity formation, Moving Beyond Borders reveals the extraordinary complexity of Black women's history.
