<br/><br/> "Reclaiming Authorship augments our knowledge of the female literary tradition and enriches our grasp of the process by which women authors sought public status in a publishing marketplace. It challenges basic tenets of the origins of realism and posits a definable historical transition from the romantic to the realist."--Cecelia Tichi.
