How isolated occurrences of talent coalesced into a virtual phenomenon, and against what historical and social obstacles women of the early twentieth century contended, are recurring themes of Ammons' study. Posthumous barriers exist for these women today in the form of literary obscurity; Ammons seeks to overturn these barriers and broaden public recognition beyond individual, received authors (such as Wharton and Cather) by demonstrating the abilities of their peers. With extensive inclusion of numerous previously neglected women writers of African-American descent, Conflicting Stories joins a highly topical debate, and offers a necessary revision of mainstream criticism's simplified reading of America's literary past. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a813.4099287 700 $aAmmons$b Elizabeth$0754442 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451446803321 996 $aConflicting stories$91518108 997 $aUNINA
