{"product_id":"women-in-literature-michael-b-snyder-9780313313462","title":"Women in Literature: Reading Through the Lens of Gender","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the literary canon consisting mostly of works created by and about men, the central perspective is decidedly male. This unique reference offers alternate approaches to reading traditional literature, as well as suggestions for expanding the canon to include more gender sensitive works. Covering 96 of the most frequently taught works of fiction, essays offer teachers, librarians, and students fresh insights into the female perspective in literature. The list of titles, created in consultation with educators, includes classic works by male authors like Dickens, Faulkner, and Twain, balanced with works by female authors such as Kate Chopin's \u003ci\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e and Mary Shelley's \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso included are contemporary works by writers such as Alice Walker and Margaret Atwood that are being incorporated into the curriculum, as well as those advancing a more global view, such as Sandra Cisneros' \u003ci\u003eHouse on Mango Street\u003c\/i\u003e and Chinua Achebe's \u003ci\u003eThings Fall Apart\u003c\/i\u003e. The essays are expertly written in an accessible language that will help students gain greater awareness of gender-related themes. Suggestions for classroom discussions--with selected works for further study--are incorporated into the entries. The volume is organized alphabetically by title and includes both author and subject indexes. An appendix of gender-related themes further enhances this volume's usefulness for curriculum applications and student research projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerilyn Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313313466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313313462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.28h x 7.26w x 1.16d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2003 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2003 pg. 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 471\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 92","brand":"Jerilyn Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478934577407,"sku":"9780313313462","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2543c19-4c76-4668-9130-72fd1378d139.jpg?v=1715935994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-literature-michael-b-snyder-9780313313462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
