Dion, Sumner, and Mitchell (2018) find that a published article is more likely to cite at least one female-authored paper if that article is itself authored by women. To complement their work, we study the number of times that an article in their data set is cited given that it has at least one female author. We find that articles with at least one female author are cited no more or less often than male-authored articles once we control for the publishing journal and the number of authors. The importance of controlling for author count in our model suggests that spurious correlation and/or self-citation might explain at least some of the gender differences found by Dion, Sumner, and Mitchell (2018).

Abstract
The paper explores the limiting and detrimental effects of biographical criticism and exceptionalism in the efforts of reinstating women authors into the Renaissance canon, by looking into the literary merits of Elizabeth Cary's The Tragedy of Mariam, The Fair Queen of Jewry and The History of The Life, Reign and Death of Edward II. Whereas the conflation of biography and fiction is a successful recipe for canonization and for the production of feminist icons, it renders the text impotent because of its resulting inability to compete with or to be seen in correlation and interplay with other contemporary texts.

AbstractThe article deals with archives of memoryscapes as remembered landscapes of a past society by Hungarian women authors from Yugoslavia. Divided into two separate cycles, it explores how an inhabited geography transgressed from the present into a past, and how it evolved via belletristic practices from the 1990s onward. The archive is therefore assessed as a cumulative development of text-worlds in prose, poetry, and drama by Hungarian women, who either remained in disintegrating Yugoslavia or emigrated to Hungary, both of which led mostly to uprootedness and a misinterpretation of their work. Accordingly, displaced as authors, who remember landscapes that are beyond official memory politics, their archive remained largely unnoticed and marginalised throughout the decades. Emerging in autobiographic writing and literary fiction equally, these memoryscapes are not idiosyncratic but are regulated and systemic representations of a time, a space, and a society. To display such a mnemonic agency, the article integrates the foucauldian notions of the archive with the thirdspace perspective of geocriticism within literary representation, as used in post-colonial thought. Eventually, this enables the exposition of the archive of these female memoryscapes of an ethnic minority not in relation to other "national" archives, or as auxiliary archives of a male perspective, but as a system of thirdspaces and representation in itself.

La aportación de la mujer al ensayo cervantino de principios del siglo XX apenas ha merecido atención. En este trabajo se analizan las diferentes perspectivas desde las que las mujeres intelectuales enfocan tanto la obra de Cervantes como a su autor, al hilo de los centenarios cervantinos (1905-1916). La crítica literaria estricta convive con la recreación de los personajes principales del Quijote en los ensayos de María Lejárraga, Matilde Ras, Concha Espina y Carmen de Burgos. Varias de las autoras estudiadas incluyen en sus textos sus preocupaciones sociales, como el feminismo, y dejan su opinión sobre los conflictos políticos y doctrinales que marcaron el fin de siglo. ; Women's participation in Cervantine criticism at the beginning of the twentieth century (1905-1906) has barely received recognition. This paper analyses the different perspectives women authors used to approach both Cervantes and his work. Strict literary criticism coexists with the exploration of Don Quixote's main characters in the philosophical and literary essays of María Lejárraga, Matilde Ras, Concha Espina and Carmen de Burgos. The authors studied include intheirs texts their social concerns and feminist ideology and give their opinion about key political and intellectual debates affecting society at the beginning of the twentieth century.

While in contemporary Hungarian literature women authors are constantly emerging and make themselves much more visible than ever before, the gender bias underlying literary evaluations seem to remain nearly intact. In her study Györgyi Horváth discusses three aspects of the gendered regimes of authority in order to give deeper insights into how gender bias re-produces within the Hungarian context. First, she focuses on lists of literary prize winners and critical rankings of published works (showing how many women writers are present on such lists in absolute numbers and in what percentages, and how their numbers have changed over time). Secondly, she explores the practice of critique writing itself, by analyzing the book review pages in two literary journals between 2007 and 2009 focusing on cases when the issue of "gender" itself comes up in the rhetoric of critics trying to underpin their aesthetic judgments on a given work. And finally, she examines briefly the attitude of contemporary women writers towards Gender Studies. Horváth concludes that Gender Studies in Hungary has not contributed significantly to increasing the prestige of contemporary women writers, most of whom, in turn, do not want to be involved with Gender Studies or feminism at all. She also points out that at present in Hungary there is a general blindness in understanding how gender/power relations permeate aesthetic judgments.

This article examines the presence of hospitality as a significant theme in four French Revolutionary novels of emigration written by three major female authors of that time, Isabelle de Charrière, Claire de Duras and Stéphanie de Genlis. It aims to highlight the multiple facets of the concept of hospitality in these novels and to demonstrate that beyond its traditional meaning, hospitality operates too in political, social and ethical realms: 1) it becomes the pivot of an introspective reflection: a critical look at the conventions and social practices of the French nobility, 2) it reflects a political thought: tensions between condemnation and loyalty to the Old Regime system, and between adherence to and suspicion of republican ideals, 3) last but not least, it opens a path to a feminist approach through situations that stage relationships of help and care by émigré women for émigré women. The reading angle that I propose in the article confirms the originality of these novels that link emigration and hospitality by evoking the potentiality of new situations, no matter how painful they may be: flexibility, emancipation, adaptation, openness, sharing and care are key themes that recur in the narratives to underline the transformative power of mutual support, responsibility and trust between women.Cet article explore la thématique de l'hospitalité dans quatre romans d'émigration de la Révolution française écrits par trois auteures importantes de l'époque, Isabelle de Charrière, Claire de Duras et Stéphanie de Genlis.
