Fortress Dickinson declared "under siege" 

A siege mentality has gripped the headquarters at Fortress Dickinson; security forces have been mobilized and some officers are calling for implementation of the dreaded “block” maneuver. (A bemused Miss Dickinson has been placed under house arrest by the authorities – “for her own protection”.)

A small edit: In the “Reception” section (formerly “Dickinson and Her Critics”), Susanne Juhasz is paraphrased as offering essays from a “female" perspective (from her book Feminist Critics Read Emily Dickinson). Historically speaking, I wasn’t aware there was a “female” outlook on any matter. I’ve never doubted there was a “feminist perspective”, however. 

If a “female” point-of-view has been established as biologically - or socially - predetermined, kindly provide the scientific evidence for this phenomenon. Until then, I’ve changed the entry to “a feminist perspective.”
