Women writers have been traditionally excluded from literary
canons and not until recently have scholars begun to rediscover or
discover for the first time neglected women writers and their
works. This reference includes alphabetically arranged entries on
58 American women authors who wrote between 1900 and 1945. Each
entry is written by an expert contributor and discusses a
particular author's biography, her major works and themes, and the
critical response to her writings. The entries close with extensive
primary and secondary bibliographies, and the volume concludes with
a list of works for further reading.
The period surveyed by this reference is rich and diverse.
Modernism and the Harlem Renaissance, two major artistic movements,
occurred between 1900 and 1945, and the entries included here
demonstrate the significant contributions women made to these
movements. The volume as a whole strives to reflect the diversity
of American culture and includes entries for African American,
Native American, Mexican American, and Chinese American women. It
includes well known writers such as Willa Cather and Eudora Welty,
along with more neglected ones such as Anita Scott Coleman and Sui
Sin Far.
