Analyzing cultural portrayals of womens friendships in fiction, letters, and film, these essays collectively suggest new models of literary interpretation that do not prioritize heterosexual romance. Instead, this book represents friendships as mature and meaningful relationships that contribute to identity formation and political coalition. Both the supportive and competitive aspects of friendships are shown to be crucial to women's identities as individuals, political citizens, and artists. Addressing the complexities of how 20th- and 21st-century cultural texts construe women's friendships as they navigate patriarchal institutions, this collection advances scholarship on friendship beyond men and masculine models. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Female friendship in literature. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Female friendship in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922616 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Branham, Kristi, $e editor. 700 1 $a Reames, Kelly Lynch, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031080036 830 0 $a American literature readings in the 21st century. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EAB799F2214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
