Fixing Patriarchy: Feminism and Mid-Victorian Male Novelists
explores representations of monstrous women in mid-Victorian
literature, tracing anxious male responses to the feminist movement
of the era. It argues that Victorian patriarchy was a fluid theory
and set of practices through which Victorian men attempted
unsuccessfully to fix gender definitions and their own positions of
power. In Victorian novels written by men, the thorough instability
of contemporary conceptions of both masculinity and femininity is
revealed, as an entire society struggled with new forms of
self-awareness and new threats to traditional social structures and
systems of belief.
