註釋"Blanche Gelfant's collection of engrossing and accessible essays does what criticism should (among other things) do: renders its subjects also engrossing and accessible. Her focus is on the subversiveness and "hunger" of fictions by American women, her choice of material -- from Gone With the Wind to Meridel Le Sueur -- wide-ranging and fresh. This is a welcome book, and will be welcomed." - Margaret Atwood, "Women Writing in America is a work of recovery and recuperation, invention and discovery, adventure and achievement. The women whose lives and works Blanche Gelfant celebrates are not victims, but survivors. Their struggles invigorate. Their narratives inspire. Her subjects include familiar figure -- Willa Cather, Katherine Anne Porter, Tillie Olsen -- and undeservedly forgotten ones -- Mary Austin, Meridel Le Sueur, Ethel Wilson. Their texts and others -- Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind, Jean Stafford's The Mountain Lion, stories by Grace Paley an Ann Beattie -- radically revise the standard definitions of American womanhood and the American literary canon." - Lee R. Edwards.
