From Midwest Book Review‘s Small Press Bookwatch:
In Fictional Females: Mirrors and Models, author, editor, and translator Eleanor Hochman, perceptively surveys and examines more than 160 American novels with female protagonists. All the titles selected were by 80 critically acclaimed authors (including both men and women), ranging from the post-Revolutionary period through the beginning of World War II. Offering a close analysis of changing conscious and unconscious perspectives of women and their role in society, Fictional Females offers a “reader friendly” wealth of depth and insight into evolving perceptions. Also available in a hardcover format (1401044565, $34.99), Fictional Females is a seminal and very highly recommended addition to Women’s Studies and Literary Studies reference collections and reading lists.
