Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s seminal work examines the nineteenth-century literary landscape through a feminist lens, focusing on how women writers navigated the patriarchal structures of their time. By analyzing the recurring trope of the 'madwoman' in works by authors such as Charlotte Brontë and Emily Dickinson, the authors reveal how female creativity was often stifled or expressed through subversion. This foundational text remains essential for understanding the evolution of gendered perspectives in literature.
