Description
Liberating Literature: A fresh perspective on feminist writers and texts in America. Maria Lauret's groundbreaking work explores the intersection of feminist politics and literary culture, shedding new light on the American Civil Rights movement, socialist women's writing, and the second wave women's movement.

This major new work offers innovative readings of familiar novels within the feminist canon, making it an essential resource for readers and students of feminist fiction.
