- Description
- The subjects of the essays in this book are genre, subjectivity and social and cultural expectations. 'Usurping the male', deals with women writing about subjects or in genres which are conventionally assumed to be male territory like the intellectual, explorations of space and time, and eroticism. 'Endorsing the female' looks at fictional forms which are normally associated with female readership like pony books, the supernatural, nurses and fairy tales. Final essays are on 'Private power', and 'Public power'.
