It is not often that one thinks of female allegiances – such as kinship networks, cultural inheritance, or lesbian marriage – as influencing the marketplace; nor does one often think of economic models when theorizing feminist cooperation. S. Brooke Cameron suggest that, through their representations of female partnership, feminist authors such as Virginia Woolf, Olive Schreiner, George Egerton, Amy Levy, and Michael Field redefined the gendered marketplace and, with it, women\u0026amp;#x2019;s professional opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterdisciplinary at its core and using a contextual approach, \u003ci\u003eCritical Alliances\u003c\/i\u003e selects cultural texts and theories relevant to each writer\u0026amp;#x2019;s particular intervention in the marketplace. Chapters look at how different forms of feminist collaboration enabled women to stake their claim to one of the many, emergent professions at the turn of the century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
