It traces the history of female behavior and how it has been interpreted, often misinterpreted, from biblical times to the present. Wurtzel analyzes figures and archetypes of women considered difficult or transgressive, examines the hostility their independence provokes and champions their defiance of gender expectations.
The work falls within gender studies and feminism. Elizabeth Wurtzel is also the author of Prozac Nation.
Aimed at readers interested in feminism, gender studies and cultural criticism.
Elizabeth Lee Wurtzel was an American writer, journalist, and lawyer known for the confessional memoir Prozac Nation, which she published at the age of 27. Her work often focused on chronicling her personal struggles with depression, addiction, career, and relationships. Wurtzel's work drove a boom in confessional writing and the personal memoir genre during the 1990s, and she was viewed as a voice of Generation X. In her later life, Wurtzel worked briefly as an attorney before her death from breast cancer.
