Title: Vigilante women in contemporary American fiction
Description: "Graham-Bertolini provides the first analysis of vigilante women in contemporary American fiction. She develops a dynamic model of vigilante heroines using literary and feminist theory and applies it to important texts, including those by Flagg, Glaspell, Hong-Kington, Hurston, Rawlings, Walker, and more. This analysis broadens our understanding of how law and culture infringe upon women's rights"--
