Contemporary Womens Ghost Stories

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the works of twentieth-century and contemporary female writers, this book explores how their Gothic ghost stories illuminate the intersections of personal and political struggles. Through themes of possession and visitations, these narratives reveal the historical marginalization of women, who have often been confined to domestic roles. By portraying women's experiences as akin to ghostly presences, the stories confront violence, oppression, and societal expectations, allowing these voices to challenge and critique the status quo.
