- Synopsis
- This book, a project in literary history and criticism, examines five women authors of the American Southwest, two well known, three much less so: They stand out for their striving to give a woman's voice to aspects of the Southwest as it was during their lifetimes. All five authors displayed sensitivity to and concern for southwestern landscapes, arts, and people; they valued harmony in human relationships and endeavors; they were interested in the past and sought to preserve it. Marked differences in experience, temperaments, talents, and perspectives exist among them, however, although their common feminine condition supposes some similarity of approach, including limitations (biological and, to some degree, social).
