Popular feminist fiction as American allegoryrepresenting national time /[electronic resource]:Jane Elliott. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - ix, 225 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [199]-217) and index.

The problem of static time : totalization, the end of history, and the end of the 1960s -- Heir apparent : legacies of the 1960s in The women's room and Vida -- Dead-end job : The Stepford wives, domestic labor, and the end of history -- Promiscuous times : Rubyfruit jungle, Fear of flying, and the desire for the event -- Alice Walker's hindsight : Meridian, The color purple, and the production of prolepsis -- My mother, myself : sentiment and the transcendence of time in The Joy Luck Cluband The divine secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood -- Coda : hurried womantales.

Offering a strikingly original treatment of feminist literature, Popular Feminist Fiction as American Allegory argues that feminist novels served as a means of narrating and negotiating the perceived decline ofAmerican progress after the 1960s. Elliott analyzes popular tropes ranging from thewhite middle class housewife trapped in endless domestic labor to the woman of color haunted by a traumatic past--exploring the way in which feminist narratives represented women as unable to access positive futures. In a powerful new reading of temporality in contemporary fiction, Elliott posits that feminism's image of women trapped in time operated as a potent allegory for the apparent breakdown of futurity in postmodernity.
