Becoming a Heroine: Reading About Women in Novels by Rachel Brownstein
-- Elaine Showalter
Becoming a Heroine
Summary
This feminist work examines how women define themselves and their lives in terms of novels. It argues that readers have been affected by classic English novels which focus, more often than not, on a woman whose choice of a husband amounts to the choice of her own fate.
