(The unlikely heroines, analyzed in this book, are fiction...)
The unlikely heroines, analyzed in this book, are fictional women, who, like their male counterparts of the era, demonstrated an urge to break with tradition, a rejection of conventional values and a desire for adventure. The six authors, who created them - Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Louisa May Alcott, Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Freeman and Kate Chopin - at one time or another all received critical acclaim. However, their gender has prevented them and their works from being viewed as an integral part of the important literature of the time. The six novels, discussed by Ann Shapiro, have in common a denial of the nineteenth-century ideal of true Womanhood in favor of greater freedom and equality for women.
