Violence and the Female Imagination
Violence and the Female Imagination explores whether these imagined women are striking out at an external other or harming themselves through acts of self-destruction and depression. Gilbert examines the degree to which women are imitating men in the outward direction of their anger and hostility and suggests that such \"tough\" women may be mocking men in their \"macho\" exploits of sexuality and violence. She illustrates the ways in which Quebec female authors are \"feminizing\" violence or re-envisioning gender in North American culture.
