In novels of regionalism, however, she is often depicted as moral, feminine, and self-sacrificing. This dichotomy, Jessee argues, reveals two opposing literary approaches to registering the national fears of all that both women and abortion evoke: the terrifying threats to white, masculine, Anglo-American male supremacy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566222139630,"sku":"9781032227122","price":33.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/female-physicians-in-american-literature-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
