Feminist Fiction and Narratives of American Progress

J. Elliott examines popular feminist fiction as a cultural site for representing American national time in the decades after the 1960s. The book argues that these works helped American culture narrate and negotiate a perceived rupture in ideas of national progress. Framed as literary criticism, it connects feminist popular writing to broader late-twentieth-century questions about how a nation understands its past, present, and future. Its compact scope centers on the meeting point between popular feminist fiction and shifting American cultural narratives.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in women authors and popular fiction
  • Those studying late-twentieth-century American cultural history
