Women are the prototypical Other in patriarchal societies, as can be seen in the first four novelists—Eudora Welty, Gloria Naylor, Margaret Atwood, and Doris Lessing—who are primarily known as realists but who disrupt our expectations to shift our perspective. Moreover, Shinn analyzes how Maxine Hong Kingston, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Toni Cade Bambara write out of their consciousness as hyphenated Americans about what is necessary to achieve an integrated self and an integrated society. Shinn explores how these women have expanded not only the language but the very structure of their novels and have transformed the novelistic tradition.
