Product Description How do gender and race become objects of intellectual inquiry and evaluation? In this book Alice Gambrell examines the careers of a group of women intellectuals--Leonora Carrington, Ella Deloria, H.D., Zora Neale Hurston, and Frida Kahlo--whose scholarly rediscovery coincided with the rise of feminist and minority discourse studies in the academy. Gambrell offers new ways of thinking about the relationships between cultural studies, feminism and minority discourse within the ongoing reassessment of Modernism. | ||

Well worth the $64.95 which I paid I paid $64.95 for Ms. Gambrell's book and I think it is well worth the money I paid. As a struggling novelist and single parent (my sex and ethnicity shall remain nameless in this review) Ms. Gambrell's book was pointed out to me as an important read. I am particularly grateful to Ms. Gambrell for her stellar way with the words of Zora Neale Hurston, always one of my heroes. Ms. Gambrell also introduced me to the work of Hilda Dolittle -- a new name to me and one I will remember. Read this book if you can and don't worry about the steep price for you will find it is worth your money as well your time. Thank you. | ||
Different The book is informative but very difficult to follow and objectively critique, if one does not have an extensive literary background. The author presupposes that the reader has more than a casual knowledge of both the five subjects (Leonora Carrington, Ella Deloria, Hilda Doolittle, Zora Neale Hurston, & Frieda Kahol)as well as their work. The author offers a different conceptual analysis and some interesting insights into the structural constraints with which they contended and the relationship between their work and that of their contemporaries as well as between their work and the current day insider-outsider debate. | ||
