{"product_id":"christine-laura-curtis-bullard-9780803213609","title":"Christine: Or Woman's Trials \u0026 Triumphs","description":"When Laura Curtis Bullard wrote the novel \u003ci\u003eChristine\u003c\/i\u003e in 1856, she created one of antebellum America's most radical heroines: a woman's rights leader. Addressing the major social, political, and cultural issues surrounding women from within an unusually overt feminist framework for its time, \u003ci\u003eChristine\u003c\/i\u003e openly challenges a social and legal system that denies women full and equal rights. Christine defies her family, rejects marriage, and leaves a job as a teacher to embark on her career, rewriting the script for a successful nineteenth-century heroine. Along the way, she recreates domesticity on her own terms, helping other young women gain economic independence so that they, too, have the autonomy to make their own choices in love and life. One of the triumphs of the novel is the author's ability to create a sympathetic heroine and a fast-paced plot that intertwines vivid scenes of suicide, destitution, and an insane asylum with theoretical and political discussions--so skillfully that the novel successfully appealed to otherwise hesitant middle-class readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Curtis Bullard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803213603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803213609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.96d","brand":"Laura Curtis Bullard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086876061951,"sku":"9780803213609","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_043c74d9-1e2d-4a15-ab88-6fdfa7edab94.jpg?v=1769097089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christine-laura-curtis-bullard-9780803213609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
