Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1985.

Selected novels written by black and white American women during the two major periods of twentieth-century feminism trace a process women in fact and fiction experience in the quest for selfhood. This process, metaphorically described as "free fall," involves a casting off of old traditional patterns of being a woman in order to formulate new ones. The theme is developed in an interplay of supporting chords of solitude, friendship and love, satisfaction through meaningful work, and bonds with the natural world. The novelists include Zora Neale Huston, Nella Larsen, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Willa Cather, Ellen Glasgow, Agnes Smedley, Ann Petry, Gayle Jones, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, and Marilynne Robinson. The novels contain a female protagonist who sees herself as nontraditional in terms of expected female roles, who develops a stronger sense of self during the course of the novel, and who is a survivor. Frequently she is viewed as an outsider or pariah by her community and family; sometimes she is even considered insane. This study considers these novels a new development of the Bildungsroman tradition in that the female character who evolves a stronger sense of self seems to be exiting from a culture which appears less and less likely to assimilate her.Subjects--Topical Terms:
