"Murderess," "hag," "She-Devil," "the instrument of the very vilest crime known in the annals of hell"-these are just a few descriptions of women abortionists in popular 19th-century sensation fiction. In novels of regionalism, however, she is often depicted as moral, feminine, and self-sacrificing. This dichotomy, Jessee argues, reveals two opposing literary approaches to registering the national fears of all that both women and abortion evoke: the terrifying threats to white, masculine, Anglo-American male supremacy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a An "Atrocious Foreign Woman": White nationalism and the abortionist -- The corporeal legacy of the abortionist -- "Truly Womanly Work": sentiment and reform fiction -- Absorbing the terror: the idealized woman physician. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women physicians in literature. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Abortion in literature. 650 0 $a Abortion $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and medicine $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Abortion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794582 650 7 $a Abortion in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794649 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Literature and medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000080 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 650 7 $a Women physicians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202299 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jessee, Margaret Jay. $t Female physicians in American literature. $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9780367228446 $w (OCoLC)1284919778 $w (OCoLC)1284919778 830 0 $a Routledge focus on literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42C8BC940CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
