I've been working on this one for a while and it unfortunately wasn't as interesting as I hoped it would be. This is basically what the title describes - an overview of women writers in America. Showalter seems to attempt to give credit to women who've been shut out of the American canon by white, male critics and scholars. I admire this attempt, but I wasn't really convinced. I thought I would come away with dozens of new books I just had to read, but that wasn't the case. There were a couple of authors (Gwendolyn Brooks, Shirley Jackson, Annie Proulx) who I know of but haven't gotten around to reading that moved up the TBR list a bit. But for most of the "unknowns" I just wasn't convinced that they sounded that great. I'm not sure if that is the book's fault or not. If you aren't very familiar with women authors this book might be interesting to skim, but otherwise I wouldn't rush out to read it. Great book! It’s fun both for reference, and as a straight read-through. I didn’t agree with Showalter’s opinions all the time – she’s tough on Gertrude Stein – but mostly she’s generous and respectful towards her subjects. I enjoyed this book too much to make lists, so I have to go back and read it again. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
