Bearing the Word: Language and Female Experience in Nineteenth-Century Women's Writing (Women in Culture and Society) - Homans, Margaret

Clean, tight, unmarked; name blacked out on ffep; wear to lower back inside corner; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book looks with particular intensity at the intersections of women's reproductive and literary roles. Homans explore the variety of ways in which 19th century women attempted to reclaim their own experiences as paradigms for writing. In so doing, Homans responds to questions raised by contradictory assumptions in current feminist theory.
