This text offers an exploration of women's writing that focuses on
the close links between literary texts and the theories that
construct those texts as "women's writing". Each chapter deals with
one of the issues or concepts that have engaged both authors and
theorists -rhetoric, work, consciousness, nature, class and race. A
detailed analysis shows how each concept has been used by feminists
to construct a specific text in such a way that it is received as a
work of "women's writing", particularly in American literature.
Using canonical texts, from Charlotte Perkins Gilman through Kate
Chopin and Willa Cather to Alice Walker and Ann Beattie, the book
engages with the major debates within feminist studies. Moving on
from Showalte's groundbreaking work to broaden the trajectory of
feminist concern, it is an accessible account of the varieties of
feminist thought within the context of the key American texts.
