Descrizione
Caroline Field Levander delves into the rich landscape of nineteenth-century American literature to explore the complex role of women in public discourse.

The exploration reveals the intersections of gender, culture, and power, ultimately enriching the reader's grasp of this critical aspect of American history and literature.
