DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In a series of sketches, regionalist writers such as Alice Cary, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Sarah Orne Jewett, Grace King, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Sui Sin Far, and Mary Austin critique the approach to regional subjects characteristic of local color and present narrators who serve as cultural interpreters for persons often considered "out of place" by urban readers. In their approach to these writers, Fetterley and Pryse offer contemporary readers an alternative vantage point from which to consider questions of regions and regionalism in the global economy of our own time."--Jacket.

These essays show just how long intelligent and determined women have been side-lined, ignored or forgotten throughout history. From the mother of the poet Philip Larkin to the wife of Ghana's first president, this book uncovers the uncredited contributions of wives, daughters, mothers, companions and female assistants who laboured in the shadows of famous men"--
