From the supplier: Djuna Barnes's 1914 essay 'How It Feels to Be Forcibly Fed' is a rereading of her earlier celebrity interviews and an exploration of the feminist discourse associated with the forcible feeding of hunger-striking British suffragettes. Barnes's essay highlights her complex position with regard to the female body. Barnes places the suffragettes' representation of the female body in pain within the larger context of sensationalized representations of the women thus providing a critical reading of activism that hopes to find new followers through a sensationalizing the female body.
