Abstract	"This book analyzes eleven trailblazing 1920s female authors who wrote counter-narratives to sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia. The author brings their novels, poems, plays, film scenarios, and blues lyrics into conversation with each other to show different approaches women could take to become autonomous individuals and full citizens"-- Provided by publisher.
