Sandra M. Gilbert, Susan Gubar. Still Mad: American Women Writers and The Feminist Imagination, 1950-2020

Summary/Abstract: Outraged at Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States in 2016 and the defeat of Hillary Clinton, the first woman ever to compete in an American presidential election sponsored by a major political party, scholars Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar wrote a sweeping sociocultural survey of the lives of women writers and the anger motivating them to write professionally. The academic duo represents an already well-established partnership, as they are responsible for giving us the unforgettably impactful The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (1979) and No Man’s Land: The Place of the Woman Writer in the Twentieth Century (1991).
