It focuses on the female characters in \u003ci\u003eEffi Briest\u003c\/i\u003e (1895) and \u003ci\u003eThérèse Desqueyroux\u003c\/i\u003e (1927) as victims of a rigid, yet degenerating patriarchal society, and on the women in \u003ci\u003eFrau Jenny Treibel\u003c\/i\u003e (1892) and \u003ci\u003eGenitrix\u003c\/i\u003e (1924) as possessive dominators. These presentations reveal the injustices and insufficiencies of a social system on the verge of decline, existent in both authors' fictive worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamara Alvarez-Detrell,Susan Wansink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820436615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820436616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tamara Alvarez-Detrell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241122935039,"sku":"9780820436616","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2065318d-7f85-4c2d-8670-002c47b51c95.jpg?v=1772652850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-victims-and-oppressors-in-tamara-alvarez-detrell-9780820436616","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
