ISBN: 155709960X ISBN-13: 9781557099600 Publisher: Arcadia Publishing (SC) OUR PRICE: $17.05 Product Type: Paperback Published: July 2006 Annotation: Originally published in 1871, Pink and White Tyranny is, seemingly, a light, comic story about a frivolous young girl who marries for money. However, as with most of Beecher Stowe's writings, things are not what they appear on the surface. This "society novel," instead, is a critique of the nineteenth-century's dominant view that women should use their femininity to gain power. Reflective of Stowe's progressive moral and domestic views, the novel is a refreshing work of social satire that showcases Stowe's comic abilities as well as her progressive views. |
