Doane and Hodges show us how these social observers seek to 'reinstate' America and American values in ways that, overtly or covertly, do battle with the feminist movement for control of rhetoric, the power of language.Routledge library editions.Feminist theory ;v. 23.Feminist theoryFeminism and literatureUnited StatesNostalgia in literatureUnited StatesSex differences (Psychology) in literatureUnited StatesMen in literatureMisogyny in literatureFeminist theory.Feminism and literatureNostalgia in literatureSex differences (Psychology) in literatureMen in literature.Misogyny in literature.305.4201813.5409352042813/.54/09352042Doane Janice L.546601Hodges DevonMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910826212103321Nostalgia and sexual difference3958205UNINA
