No Man's Land

This final volume in Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar's landmark trilogy argues that twentieth-century women of letters-from Virginia Woolf, Marianne Moore, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and H.D. to Zora Neale Hurston, Sylvia Plath, Toni Morrison, and Margaret Atwood-have found themselves on a confusing cultural front and have responded by dispatching 'missives' on the profound changes in the roles and rules that govern sexuality.
