reviewed A Jury of Her Peers: Celebrating American Women Writers from Anne Bradstreet to Annie Proulx on March 09, 2017 A Jury of Her Peers: Celebrating American Women Writers from Anne Bradstreet to Annie Proulx
This survey of American women writers is quite the accomplishment. I am in awe of Showalter's ability to synthesize material and research ranging from the 17th through the 20th centuries. This book would be of use as 'merely' a reference book; but I read it cover to cover, and enjoyed every bit of it, from the information about the writers I did know to the plenty I didn't.
Showalter's aim is to put into the historical record worthy women writers who have been left out of literary history and to illustrate the developments over time that have allowed women writers to be distinguished as 'merely' writers. She succeeds.
After reading this over several months, though I didn't plan it, I finished it yesterday, which happened to be International Women's Day.
