Böcker av Ann Romines

In this study, the author builds on 20 years of feminist scholarship to show how domestic ritual - the practice and traditions of housekeeping - has helped to shape the substances and tone of some of the best fiction by American women.

Writing from a feminist perspective, the author examines what is it about the ""Little House Series"" that accounts for its enduring commercial success. It examines both the content of the novels, the process of their creation, and what it demonstrates about the current trends of American culture.
