Introduction: the problem of modern female innocence
Part One: Negotiated living. A pragmatist's dilemma: the collusion between myth and reality in the Hull-House Devil Baby tale
Coming of age via critical complaint: reading women's choices not to know in Realist Bildungsroman
A failure of sympathy or of narrative?: naturalism's jaded women and the narrative cycle of domestic violence
The legacy of naturalism, a cycle of leaving: reading agency in the passive, empty woman
Part Two: Pragmatic fantasies. Are women people?: discourses of (non) personhood in suffrage poetry and protest
Making women, making humans: fantasies and melancholic mourning in modern sex changes and sex losses
Allowing innocence?: belief, knowledge, and the modern community.
