Donovan focuses on the changing relationship between mothers and daughters—in particular upon the \"new women's\" rebellion against the traditional women's culture of their nineteenth-century mothers (both literary and literal). An introductory chapter traces the male-supremacist ideologies that formed the intellectual climate in which these women wrote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReorienting Wharton, Cather, and Glasgow within women's literary traditions produces major reinterpretations of their works, including such masterpieces as Ethan Frome, Summer, My Antonia, Barren Ground, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pennsylvania State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52251745616183,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":221.86,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780271027258-1.jpg?v=1783101282","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780271027258","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
