Examining popular women's novels of the 1930s, this study explores
how middlebrow literature imagined gender and class identity during
one of the most economically devastating times in U.S. history.
These forgotten writers - Edna Ferber, Fannie Hurst, Margaret Ayer
Barnes, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Katharine
Brush, and others - portrayed women's lives and a great variety of
issues that affected them, including marriage, motherhood,
professionalism, violence, and racism. Through adept close
readings, Jennifer Haytock demonstrates that Depression-era realist
fiction portrays a range of changes in daily life and draws new
conclusion about the American Dream.
