Sister's Choice

Elaine Showalter

Do common threads connect American women writers from different eras and different backgrounds in a coherent tradition? How have the relationships between women's rights, women's rites, and women's writing figured in the history of literature by women in the United States? Drawing on a wide range of writers from Margaret Fuller to Alice Walker, Elaine Showalter argues that post-colonial as well as feminist literary theory can help us understand the hybrid, intertextual, and changing forms of American women's writing, and the way that 'women's culture' intersects with other cultural forms. Showalter looks closely at Three American classics - Little Women , The Awakening , The House of Mirth - and traces the transformations in such major themes, images, and genres of American women's writing as the American Miranda, the Female Gothic, and the patchwork quilt. Ending with a moving description of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, she shows how the women's tradition is a literary quilt that offers a new map of a changing America. This book is intended for general readers; students and teachers of women's writing. Those readers interested in women's studies and feminist criticism.
