Current feminist theory has developed powerful explanations for some women writers' rebellion against patriarchy. But other women writers did not rebel; rather, they supported and celebrated patriarchy. Examining the lives and selected works of two late eighteenth-century writers, Hannah More and Maria Edgeworth, this book explores what it means for a woman writer to identify with her father and the patriarchal tradition he represents. Kowaleski-Wallace exposes the psychological, social, and historical factors that motivated such an identification, and reveals the consequences that result from being a "daddy's girl."Kowaleski-Wallace, Elizabeth is the author of 'Their Fathers' Daughters Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and Patriarchal Complicity', published 1991 under ISBN 9780195068535 and ISBN 019506853X.
