		More recent critics of of Radcliffe have demurred from the earlier perception of her as the high priestess of sensibility and of her novels as an affirmation of the value of sensibility; what Radcliffe is really doing, they suggest, is pointing out the dangers of excessive sensibility.

		Anne K. Mellor argues that while their male counterparts were concerned with "the development of an autonomous self," independent of relations to others, women Romantic writers "typically endorsed a commitment to a construction of subjectivity based on alterity" (3).
		Interestingly enough, Radcliffe's heroine has been taught that the name of the father is "sacred" (236) and unspeakable, a ruse by the women responsible for her that is intended to keep her from being discovered/destroyed by the authority of this unnatural step-parent.
		Radcliffe's relating of maternal absence with the heroine's initial status as Other coincides with Simone de Beauvoir's argument in The Second Sex, namely that one significant cause behind women's subjugation is that they are alienated from one another by patriarchal culture, and that the estrangement results in an inability to form a jointly empowering collectivity.
