A Jury of Her Peers Summary
|
“Elaine Showalter’s case for nearly four centuries of American women’s writing unfolds in a narrative as gripping as a favorite novel. Smartly paced and peppered with choice anecdotes and telling excerpts, A Jury of Her Peers shows vast knowledge and keen insight delivered with grace and verve. Readers will delight in the discovery of new writers and fresh encounters with familiar figures as Showalter once again proves to be the leading feminist literary authority of our time.” –Cecelia Tichi, William R.
