 Zona Gale, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Rose Wilder Lane, and Josephine Herbst by Julia Ehrhardt
For too long, popular twentieth-century female authors have been ignored by scholars--mainly because their stories were considered to lack serious political content or social commentary--despite their popularity with the general public.
Rather than discussing familiar issues--such as woman suffrage and equal rights--that usually dominate our understanding of women's political activity in the early twentieth century as it surfaced in writings by canonical woman authors, Ehrhardt introduces readers to four lesser-known women and the political agendas they endorsed in both published and unpublished writings.
In-depth analyses are presented on Gale's support of the municipal-housekeeping movement, Fisher's anxieties about the rise of New England tourism, Lane's criticisms of the New Deal, and Herbst's denunciation of the risks involved in illegal abortion.
