She examines "Rip Van Winkle," "I Want to Know Why," "The Birthmark," "A Rose for Emily," A Farewell to Arms, The Great Gatsby, The Bostonians, and An American Dream. Fetterley's purpose is to change the male-dominated "closed-conversation" of the past to an "active dialogue" in which women can take part..Subject: critique féministe | critique littéraire | Etats-UnisItem type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
