Often informed by notions of crossing, intersectionality, transition, and transformation, these concepts as they appear in American women's writing contest as well as perpetuate exclusionary practices involving class, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, and sex, among other variables. The collection's introduction, three unit introductions, fourteen individual essays, and afterward facilitate a process of encounters, engagements, and conversations within, between, among, and across the rich polyphony that constitutes the creative acts of American women writers. The contributors offer fresh perspectives on canonical writers as well as introduce readers to new authors. As a whole, the collection demonstrates American women's writing is "threshold writing," or writing that occupies a liminal, hybrid space that both delimits borders and offers enticing openings. 001358983 650_0 $$aLiterature. 001358983 650_0 $$aLiterature$$xHistory and criticism. 001358983 650_0 $$aAmerica$$xLiteratures. 001358983 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358983 7001_ $$aJacobson, Kristin J.,$$eeditor. 001358983 7001_ $$aAllukian, Kristin,$$eeditor. 001358983 7001_ $$aLegleitner, Rickie-Ann,$$eeditor. 001358983 7001_ $$aAllison, Leslie,$$eeditor. 001358983 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319738505 001358983 852__ $$bebk 001358983 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-73851-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358983 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358983$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358983 980__ $$aBIB 001358983 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358983 982__ $$aEbook 001358983 983__ $$aOnline 001358983 994__ $$a92$$bISE
