Description
The author indicates how readers can identify in 20th-century women's fiction what is subversive and what supports the status quo of women's unequal position vis a vis men. To illustrate this new way of reading fiction, she analyzes a broad range of women's fiction and relates her readings to social issues of the day. Some comparisons with men's fiction are made, and a list of essential though often neglected novels by women is included.
