A Jury of Her Peers is an unprecedented literary
landmark: the first comprehensive history of
American women writers from
1650
to
2000.
In a narrative of immense scope and fascina¬
tion
—
brimming with Elaine Showalter s char¬
acteristic wit and incisive opinions
—
we are
introduced to more than
250
female writers.
These include not only famous and expected
names (Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Willa
Cather,
Dorothy Parker, Flannery O Connor, Gwendo¬
lyn Brooks, Grace Paley,
Toni
Morrison, and
Jodi Picoult among them), but also many who
were once successful and acclaimed yet now
are little known, from the early American best-
selling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulit¬
zer Prize-winning playwright Susan Glaspell.
Showalter
shows how these writers
—
both the
enduring stars and the ones left behind by the
canon—were connected to one another and to
their times. She believes it is high time to fully
integrate the contributions of women into our
American literary heritage, and she undertakes
the task with brilliance and flair, making the
case for the unfairly overlooked and putting the
overrated firmly in their place.
Whether or not readers agree with the book s
roster of writers, A Jury of Her Peers is an irre¬
sistible invitation to join the debate, to discover
long-lost great writers, and to return to fa¬
miliar titles with a deeper appreciation. It is a
monumental work that will greatly enrich our
understanding of American literary history and
culture.
Elaine
Showalter,
a professor
emerita
at
Princeton University, is the author of numer¬
ous books, including the groundbreaking
A Literature of Their Own: British Women Nov¬
elists from
Brontë
to
Lessing.
A frequent radio
and TV commentator in the United King¬
dom, she has chaired the Man Booker Inter¬
national prize jury and judged the National
Book Awards and the Orange Prize. She
divides her time between Washington, D.C.,
and London.
