Description
Author Susan Lurie argues that during the 1980s much of the well-intentioned work of feminist theory still left patriarchal power unquestioned. Lurie cites three literary feminists--Ellen Glasgow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Elizabeth Bishop--tracing each author's strategies for revealing and challenging the ways that patriarchal gender ideology profits from contested female subjectivity.
