Opis

An unprecedented literary landmark: the first comprehensive history of American women writers from 1650 to the present.
In a narrative of immense scope and fascination, here are more than 250 female writers, including the famous Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O Connor, and Toni Morrison, among others and the little known, from the early American bestselling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Susan Glaspell. Showalter integrates women s contributions into our nation s literary heritage with brilliance and flair, making the case for the unfairly overlooked and putting the overrated firmly in their place."
