In lamenting the 'degeneracy' of present-day America, social and literary critics as well as contemporary novelists often choose as their scapegoat the women's movement and its increasing influence. 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. 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pFeminist theory ;$vv. 23. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States 606 $aNostalgia in literature$zUnited States 606 $aSex differences (Psychology) in literature$zUnited States 606 $aMen in literature 606 $aMisogyny in literature 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aFeminism and literature 615 0$aNostalgia in literature 615 0$aSex differences (Psychology) in literature 615 0$aMen in literature. 615 0$aMisogyny in literature. 676 $a305.4201 676 $a813.5409352042 676 $a813/.54/09352042 700 $aDoane$b Janice L.$0546601 702 $aHodges$b Devon 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786595703321 996 $aNostalgia and sexual difference$93790973 997 $aUNINA
