To their contemporaries, nineteenth-century women writers were women .

To their contemporaries, nineteenth-century women writers were women first, artists second. While it was theoretically possible for women novelists to write about female physical experience, including childbirth and maternal psychology, they faced many obstacles to self-expression in their own sphere.

Additionally, literary women defined themselves against the weakest practitioners of the lyric who tended to conservative or trite formalism. The most dynamic poets often eschewed the lyric in favour of a dramatic persona by which to vent their concerns about social injustices or global turbulence. When Smith returned to the manuscript in the late 1940s, she transformed it into a post-war book, a book of aftermaths, through fairly simple alterations, including insertions of hand written post’s above typed iterations of ‘war’ in the manuscript. Thus this third of Smith’s three war novels became her only post-war novel through a trick of type.

On a linguistic level, the book is designed to offer as wide a variety of styles and registers as possible: newspaper articles, literary texts and poems, interviews, dictionary extracts, statistics, and other documentary material.

The number of published women authors was greater in the nineteenth century than in any preceding century. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, women writers were largely confined to the genres of children's literature and poetry. The emotionalism of poetry, particularly poetry in which depth of feeling and sentiment, morality, and intuition were expressed and celebrated, was considered a "feminine genre," suitable for women writers.

The Language of Power: Women and Literature, 1945 to the Present examines the upheaval in social relations within the last half of the twentieth century and argues that issues of power have had a profound effect on women's lives and literature. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book analyzes women's attitudes toward work: marriage, sex and the family; traditional religion and spirituality; race, class and ethnicity; and artistic creativity. The Language of Power surveys many of the most important American, British and world female authors writing in contemporary culture.
