Having our way

women rewriting tradition in twentieth-century America

Having Our Way is a collection of new essays on twentieth-century American women writers who meet, manage, fail to manage, revise and rewrite, engage and enter a literary tradition that has increasingly made way for and been altered by women - their perceptions, issues, visions, and revisions.

The collection considers the work of ten women writers: Nella Larsen, Zelda Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Sylvia Plath, Hisaye Yamamoto, Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston, Louise Erdrich, and Sandra Cisneros.
