In novels of regionalism, however, she is often depicted as moral, feminine, and self-sacrificing. This dichotomy, Jessee argues, reveals two opposing literary approaches to registering the national fears of all that both women and abortion evoke: the terrifying threats to white, masculine, Anglo-American male supremacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Jay Jessee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367228432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367228439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Margaret Jay Jessee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981760528639,"sku":"9780367228439","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b8537c0-01a7-4969-8756-4f2665e2008e.jpg?v=1683257386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-physicians-in-american-literature-margaret-jay-jessee-9780367228439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
