This question is addressed through a comparative analysis of the cultural remembrance of three committed revolutionaries: Louise Michel (1830\u20131905), Emma Goldman (1869\u20131940) and Sylvia Pankhurst (1882\u20131960). The book takes a plurimedial approach to understanding the cultural afterlives of these three women, drawing from biographical works, artistic installations, performances, portraits and archives. It demonstrates the selective process whereby particular moments or themes in an individual\u2019s life are remembered with greater frequency and affective charge than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remembering Revolutionary Women raises critical questions about the consequences \u2013 whether appropriation, sanitisation, individualisation or feminisation \u2013 of reclaiming historic women for political ends, bringing original insights to studies of cultural memory, activism, life writing studies and gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author \/ Editor information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clara Vlessing<\/strong>, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardcover published on: February 16, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table of contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/9783111589626\/html\">https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/9783111589626\/html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knjige","category-novosti"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Vlessing.jpg?fit=800%2C1189&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52375,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52373\/revisions\/52375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/52374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
