Description: "An exciting collection which places superb turn-of-the-century women writers in the context of pioneering artists, a long overdue revisionary perspective."--Roseanne Hoefel, Alma College "A worthy and important contribution to Women's Studies."--June Sochen, Northeastern Illinois University "Fills a gap; places black women writers in context of American women's literary history."--Fahamisha Patricia Brown, Boston College "Thanks to a glorious wealth of historical and biographical detail, Elizabeth Ammons's new book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt what many had only hoped was true: that the history of American women's writing, created by Native American, African American, Asian American, Jewish American, and white Christian American authors, comprises one diverse and variegated body of work, a body all too often suppressed, effaced, erased, but here celebrated for its richness, its suffering, and its triumph."-- American Literature "Brilliant....This is a very important book whose influence will be felt for a long time. It should be read by all serious teachers and scholars of the period and should have a prominent place in advanced literature courses. I recommend it highly."-- Journal of English and Germanic Philology
