Under 1800-talet betraktades barnen som samhällets framtid. Genom att reformera barnuppfostran hoppades man kunna skapa nya kvinnor och män. I både barn- och vuxenlitteraturen användes beskrivningar av barndom, uppfostran och uppväxt för att utforska könens och sexualitetens gränser, men också vad det innebar mer allmänt att bli och vara människa. Genom att uppmärksamma barnets och barnlitteraturens roll i den litterära debatten ger Maria Andersson här ett nytt perspektiv på tiden kring förra sekelskiftet. För de kvinnliga författarna innebar perioden ett genombrott och större möjligheter att påverka samhällsutvecklingen. Amanda Kerfstedt, Helena Nyblom och Mathilda Malling tillhörde de författare som gjorde uppmärksammade inlägg i debatterna om könens natur, familjeideal och sedligheten, men vars författarskap i dag till stora delar fallit i glömska. Andersson behandlar tidigare omskrivna texter, som Mallings Berta Funcke och Nybloms sagor, sida vid sida med helt bortglömda verk, som Kerfstedts banbrytande transvestitroman Reflexer. Att bli människa ger en komplex och motsägelsefull bild av sekelskiftets litteratur och samhällsliv. Skiljelinjerna mellan manligt och kvinnligt, mellan sedligt och osedligt, och mellan oskyldiga barn och erfarna vuxna var aldrig entydiga utan måste ständigt vidmakthållas och konstrueras på nytt. I litteraturen skedde förhandlingar, prövningar och gränsdragningar som exponerade spänningar i 1800-talets föreställningar om barn, sedlighet och kön samtidigt som de omdefinierade begreppen för att anpassas till en ny tids krav. Maria Andersson (f. 1973) är verksam som forskare och lärare i litteraturvetenskap vid Stockholms universitet. Att bli människa är hennes doktorsavhandling.

From the founder of the worldwide 30% Club campaign comes a career book for women in a transforming world who don't just want to lean in, but instead, shatter the paradigm as we know it. ‘I absolutely love her, I think she’s such a force for good’ Pandora Sykes, The High Low In A Good Time to be a Girl, Helena Morrissey sets out how we might achieve the next big breakthrough towards a truly inclusive modern society. Drawing on her experience as a City CEO, mother of nine, and founder of the influential 30% Club which campaigns for gender-balanced UK company boards, her manifesto for new ways of working, living, loving and raising families is for everyone, not just women. Making a powerful case for diversity and difference in any workplace, she shows how, together, we can develop smarter thinking and broader definitions of success. Gender balance, in her view, is an essential driver of economic prosperity and part of the solution to the many problems we face today. Her approach is not aimed merely at training a few more women in working practices that have outlived their usefulness. Instead, this book sets out a way to reinvent the game – not at the expense of men but in ways that are right and relevant for a digital age. It is a powerful guide to success for us all.
