Literary Women

Front Cover
Doubleday, 1976 - Literary Criticism - 336 pages
Examining the lives and works of a number of women authors, Moers argues that new genres and new insights were born as female awarenesses and assertions became part of modern literature. She charts the strengths women writers have drawn from each other: George Eliot from Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Gertrude Stein from George Eliot, and Willa Cather from George Sand.
