New Perspective

In this article Professor Walton examines the influence of bourgeois women on industrial production in nineteenth-century Paris. She argues that women, as arbiters of taste and consumers for the family, sought art and originality in manufactured goods, and that their demands in turn fostered handicraft and less skilled hand methods of manufacturing as the best means of providing such goods. By establishing the connections between women's roles and bourgeois demand, and between bourgeois demand and hand manufacturing, this study offers a new perspective on the persistence of hand production in France.

In the contex of Islam, the concept of qudwah hasanah , that is, a good example or model, is not only applicable to men but also to women in society. Qudwah hasanah is important, for one, because it helps to strengthen the family institution, and the ummah as a whole. In line with this, women are equally responsible for realizing qudwah hasanah , especially since women are considered to be “educators” by nature. In many works of Malay literature in this country, Muslim women are presented as the central figures around which these works revolve. A great number of female characters in these works are shown to have exemplary characteristics. Because of this, the present study aims to examine the characteristics of qudwah hasanah in relation to the female characters in several recent Malay novels published by women authors, namely Baromkeh Matamu di Mataku ( Baromkeh: Seeing Through Your Eyes ) by Ummu Hani Abu Hassan, Seteguh Fikrah Saleha ( As Strong as Saleha’s Thought ) by Aminah Mokhtar, Delima Ranting Senja ( The Pomegranate of the Evening Branch ) by Siti Zainon Ismail, Episod Cinta di Tanah Hijrah ( Love in the Land of Migration ) by Amaruszati Noor Rahim, and Lentera Mustika ( Mustika’s Lantern ) by Nisah Haron. This study also examines the extent to which local women authors are able to create female Muslim characters in line with the concept of qudwah hasanah.

Rewriting History

During the nineteenth century, historical writing generally reflected the idea that women played only minor roles in the public realm and in history. In the 1880s and 1890s, when feminism emerged more forcefully, the French woman Marie Dronsart endeavoured to rewrite history in her works Portraits d'outre-Manche and Les grandes voyageuses, as well as through her translation of Queen Victoria's memoirs. Dronsart, in spite of her numerous works and translations, has scarcely received any critical attention so far. Addressing this gap in scholarship, this paper will argue that Dronsart tries to assert the importance of women's roles in history without offending conservative sensibilities. I will investigate how Dronsart negotiates the various discourses on feminism and femininity through different strategies, most importantly by enmeshing discourses on women with discourses on the English nation, and by drawing on stereotypes and specific English sources.

A Performance

The restoration of a Japanese eight-fold screen, accompanied by art-historical study and research into materials and techniques has greatly enhanced the understanding of the object. Each side bears a painting and it was found that theoldest painting depicts the world of entertainment in Edo in the late seventeenth century, with a portrayal of the Nakamura theatre, holding a performance of the early kabuki play Coming and Going to Takayasu, featuring the then popular actor of women’s roles Tamagawa Sennojō. The source of this scene is an illustration from a 1678 book by Hishikawa Moronobu, Tales of Actors Past and Present. Also, there is an outing to view the cherry blossoms by the Yoshiwara brothel Myōgaya. The other side was fitted in the mid nineteenth century with a specially commissioned painting of an autumn landscape by the painter Itabashi Tsurao, using high-quality pigments. The provenance of the screen has been traced back to 1924, to the dealer Felix Tikotin. It was acquired by Herman Karel Westendorp, the firstchairman of the Royal Asian Art Society in the Netherlands, the present owner, to whom Westendorp sold it in 1931.

Islamic Values

Theologically speaking, women are the `khalifah' on earth, having equal positions, rights and responsibilities to men, both in the field of `ibadah' and social life. Women as housewives (mothers) in the family have significant role in building and guarding the integrity of thelam* and so do the men. In both the family and social life, men and women's roles are not more dominant than the others; both men and women share equal responsibilities. Furthermore, there is no restriction for women to work as professional workers or leaders as long as they are able to bring about benefits for themselves, the family as well as the society. This article will provide theological arguments on the fact that Islam never puts any restriction on women's activities as long as those activities are carried out in the spirit of Islamic values.
