Introduction · · · · · ·
☆Another feminist masterpiece after "The Madwoman in the Attic"

☆The brilliant and all-encompassing history of contemporary women's movements

*****************************************

Forty years after the publication of the groundbreaking feminist classic "The Madwoman in the Attic", Gilbert and Gubar collaborated again to focus on female writers since the 1950s and tell the story of the second wave of feminism. Unlike the "madwoman in the attic" in the 19th century, their writing is freer and their expression is more direct and sharp. The characters involved in the book include Betty Friedan, the mother of the modern feminist movement in the United States, poets Sylvia Plath and Adrienne Rich, American cultural icons Susan Sontag and Joan Didion, writers Le Guin, Atwood, Toni Morrison, etc. By combing through the history of feminist literature in this period, the author examines the relevant history, politics and culture, and comprehensively shows the 70-year process of women's pursuit of freedom and equality, as well as the misogynistic culture that continues to this day with the struggle.

*****************************************

Gilbert and Gubar extend their study of women's writing into the 21st century, tracing the key events and figures of the second wave of feminism since the 1950s, and depicting the boiling, explosive, and continuous energy of American women's writing.
