Abstract	"Women Writing the American Artist in Novels of Development from 1850-1932 examines how the coming-of-age-of-an-artist genre evolved from 1850-1932 in works by American women writers. Specifically, it analyzes how these authors contest patriarchy, engage with tropes of gender, race, and disability, and assert the validity of art created by women artists"-- Provided by publisher.
