Abstract

Revisits the importance of four books published in the late 1970s that sought to reappraise women authors & their literary output: (1) Patricia Spack's (1975) The Female Imagination; (2) Ellen Moers's (1976) Literary Women; (3) Elaine Showalter's (1977) A Literature of Their Own; & (4) Sandra Gilbert & Susan Gubar's (1979) The Madwoman in the Attic. The impetus for these critical works is located in early feminist books that also addressed literary subjects: Mary Ellman's (1968) Thinking about Women & Kate Millett's (1970) Sexual Politics. The impact of all these works on establishing women's literature as a valid literary & cultural enterprise is discussed. K. Hyatt Stewart
