An analysis of the work of Emilie Rose Macaulay (1881–1958), who strove in virtually all of her twenty-three novels to articulate the needs of women for autonomy and achievement. This biocritical study, designated by Choice as an Outstanding Academic Book, finds that Macaulay’s writings constitute a deliberate act of rebellion against the cultural myths that trap both men and women in gender stereotypes.
