"Modern American Women Writers" is a rich examination of how the
lives of thirty-two of America's leading writers shaped the
literature they produced. The essays in this book are by the best
scholars in the field of women's studies and combine illuminating
biographical detail with thoughtful discussions of each author's
work. Based on the acclaimed hardcover, this concise edition of
"Modern American Women Writers" is a unique look at a century of
women's contributions to the American literary tradition. As the
distinguished feminist critic Elaine Showalter says in the
introduction, "Women have revised the fundamental themes and
conventions of American literature, including its myths of
individuality, community, language, and the frontier. Feminine
imagination and feminine energy are part of our cultural heritage,
and any history of American literature that excludes women's
contribution cannot be complete."
