The women who make our novels, by: Grant M. Averton

This book presents summaries that introduce dozens of American women novelists, who wrote their works in the late 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century, and highlights aspects of American feminist literature, perhaps for the first time, with such richness, comprehensiveness, and inclusiveness. The author dedicated a chapter to each writer, combining her individual merits, her novelistic works, the characteristics of her artistic characters, and the degree of their realism, making it lively and attracting the reader to learn the details of this intensive presentation. It is a book that provides the researcher with his or her need in time, place, and literary genre, saving him or her much time and effort, and offering the reader intellectual and artistic enjoyment colored with the rich colors of life—rural and urban, and beautiful nature—plain, mountain, forest, and sea.
