Although the sum is small, her writing has been examined from regionalist, Marxist, feminist, and other critical perspectives. The 1970's saw the first serious attempts to revive interest in Arnow. In 1971, Tillie Olsen identified her as a writer whose ""books of great worth suffer the death of being unknown, or at best, a peculiar eclipsing.""
