Exploring a variety of writers over an array of time periods,
subject matter, race and ethnicity, sexual preference, tradition,
genre, and style, this volume represents the fruits of
the dramatic and celebrated growth of the study of American women
writers today. From established figures such as Harriet Beecher
Stowe, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Katherine Ann Porter to
emerging voices including early American novelist Tabitha Tenney;
the first African American novelist, Harriet E. Wilson; modern
dramatist Sophie Treadwell; and contemporaries such as Sandra
Cisneros, Grace Paley, and June Jordan, the essays present fresh
approaches and furnish a wealth of illustrations for the multiple
selves created and addressed in women's writing. These selves
intersect and connect to embody a multiethnic rhetoric of the
"self" that is uniquely feminine and uniquely American. Calling
attention to their "American feminist rhetoric," Jeanne Campbell
Reesman identifies many connections among different feminist,
poststructuralist, narratological, and comparativist strategies.
The voices of "Speaking the Other Self "well represent the inner
and outer, speaking and hearing, center and frame in women's
writing in America, their intersections constructing an ongoing
conversation, a borderland of new possibilities--a borderland with
no borders, no barriers to thought and response and change, no end
of possible voices and selves.
