Notable American Women Writers Vols. 1& 2 TOC

The Journal of American Culture, 1999

My uncompleted research over the last 26 years has thus far turned up 839 U.S. women who published at least one volume of short stories between 1827, when Sally Wood published Tales of the Night in Portland, Maine, and mid-1993. My list of women who published at least one story between 1822 and 1993 is more than twice as long-more than 1800 women writers. Many of these women published enough stories to have filled several books, but their stories are, as yet, uncollected. (That is one of the ways that women's work is lost-it is published in ephemeral forms and never put between the covers of a book. The stories of writers such as Ada Jack

The basic cause of the relative invisibility and subordination of women writers originates in a patriarchal value system where the literature of women has been regarded as being less important than that of men. Until recently, literary criticism and history have not distinguished between the male and female experience and have tended to regard the former as being universally valid and representative. There has been little awareness that the female experience has a significance of its own and constitutes an essential part of the human consciousness as such. These assumptions and shortcomings have now been challenged and addressed most vigorously by feminist scholars, and the process of changing them is well under way.

A survey of various authors who portray efforts by women to affirm their individuality and humanity in cultures dominated by men. The course will focus especially on works written by women in the past two centuries, with a consideration of why women artists have become productive so relatively late in history. The connections between artistic expression and active effort to change the world will be of particular interest.

The American Dream is that any man or woman, despite of his or her background, can change their circumstances and rise as high as they are willing to work. This quote by Fabrizio Moreira holds good for men but for women this dream posses many challenges before it is fulfilled. Women are multifaceted and perform a significant role in society. Across the world women have their challenges to face in this man"s world. In India women are considered as the goddess from the ancient time however, it is also true that they are not treated as goddess. Considering them as goddess alone is not enough, it needs positive continuous effort and participation of both men and women to really bring women empowerment. Initially women were confined to domestic chores and kept within the four walls of the house. Gradually women started getting educated and as the rate of literacy in women increased there has been some progress. Women since ages have expressed their felling, thoughts, anger, experience and anxiety through their writing not only in English but also in other languages.. This paper is an attempt to explore the various genres of women"s writing across the world to understand the life of women and also the manner in which they were portrayed in literature. This paper also tries to make a comparative study of the writings in India with other countries both in the past and present in an attempt to know how successful we have been in achieving women empowerment.

For nearly a century and half-from Fielding to the last of the great Victorians-The English novel swept along on a tide of creative energy which reached full power in Dickens's careless vitality and exuberance. Dickens neglected form and style because his need for utterance was so urgent. Later novelists, George Meredith and Henry James among them, had less to say and could afford time to say it more carefully and when after 1914, creative energy became still less abundant, disproportionate attention began to be given to theories of fiction. But other phases of the Twentieth-Century novel intervened. As the masculine force and creative energy died down among men writers, women seem to take those qualities. Women had written fine novels in the early years of the twentieth century.The present paper discusses the women novelist and their novels written in the first half of twentieth century. It also discusses various issues presented in their novels.
