it's a motherfucking paper!

This is my Honours thesis, in a slightly-less-edited-than-the-version-eventually-turned-in-version, because I have unfortunately lost access to the shiny version. However, this remains for posterity.

Introduction
Little Mothers and Sailors: Girls in the Heyday of Adventure Fiction
The Women's Movement, 1945-Present Day: A Potted History
Reworking Adventure: Jones and Modern Novels
Conclusion

( did I mention it's 11,000 words? )

it's a motherfucking paper!

holy crap. It's done! Basically! (I need like two more references.) I have five days for edits! (That means, if any of you suckers read this, I'd LOVE any comments you have.)

It's 11, 000 words. This is three times longer than anything I've ever written, and seriously, I realise that some of the flist have actually written books, and that makes me want to cry inside.

I hate this right now, but I think it might sort of be OK? I can't tell because I've read it a billion times and I think it sucks. (The introduction and conclusion really DO suck. Hopefully my supervisor will help me fix them.)

Oh well. Here goes.

You can read this on my dreamwidth. I can't be bothered x-posting this here because I think it would a) be harder to read and b) might actually be too long for an LJ post. If you want to read this (hahahahaha) and you're not on my access list, throw me an email, labellementeuse(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll email it to you (which will be even easier to read, because it's double-spaced.

*siiiiiiiigh* this is a good feeling. Of course, I basically have to do it again... by friday... because that's how many essays I've neglected to work on this one.
