A Man and a Perpetuum Mobile? Assigned Hermaphrodite Andreas Bruce's Memoirs
This article presents the memoirs of Andreas Bruce, a Swedish man that was assigned female sex at birth and later re‐assigned sex as a male hermaphrodite. His memoirs, written by the end of the nineteenth century, are unique. They exhibit a rare example of what life could be like for gender transgressors during the nineteenth century.

Hagar and the Symbols of Slavery
Using Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847) as a backdrop, this article examines the symbol of slavery in Fredrika Bremer’s novel The Neighbours (1837). In particular, the character Hagar (mirrored in Jane Eyre by Bertha Mason) is analysed. The Neighbours depict slavery both on a literal and a symbolic level; firstly, in the representation of colonial plantations and transatlantic slave trade and secondly as a symbol of white women’s submission. Th…
Två gräl. Slavhandel, kvinnokamp och moraliskt gnissel i Fredrika Bremers Grannarne
This article examines Fredrika Bremer’s novel The Neighbours (Grannarne, 1837), and in particular two scenes in which respectively the transatlantic slave trade and Islam are debated. Together, these two quarrels form a feminist, nationalist argument against slavery, using an image of a misogynistic Orient as backdrop. The Neighbours present an unusually explicit discussion about the transatlantic slave trade, while at the same time simultaneousl…

This article analyses the rumors that surrounded his person, using paintings, newspaper clippings, and memoirs written by his former customers. Through his business, Forss could lay claim on normative masculinity through the rousing bourgeois ideals of financial success and craftsmanship. Bei…

Certain stereotypical explanations of gender transgressive experiences, in particular the so-called ”passing woman” are examined as part of a certain feminist heritage. In this particular line of research, cross-dressing is conside…
