Roman, Margaret, - Sarah Orne Jewett: Reconstructing Gender.

Tuscaloosa, Univ of Alabama Press, (1992). G in G DJ ex-library. Roman argues that one theme colors almost every short story & novel for Maine writer Jewett. Each person, regardless of sex,. must break free of the restrictive, polar-opposite norms of behavior traditionally assigned to men and women by a patriarchal society - where a competitive, active man dominates a passive, emotional woman. She frequently refers to Jewett's own New England upbringing at the hands of an unusually progressive father thus causing Jewett, through her personal quest for freedom and the various characters she created, strove to eliminate the necessity for rigid and narrowly defined male-female roles and relatioinships.
