 The Artistry of Anger: Black and White Women's Literature in America, 1820-1860 - Reviews - Book Review African ...
In this study of literature by fl and white American women writers before the Civil War, Linda Grasso rejects the focus on domestic ideology that she thinks has dominated feminist literary criticism and history, in favor of what she calls a paradigm of anger.

It is also "the basis of an aesthetic" in which one studies the strategies through which women give literary expression to anger.
