- Description
- Reviews the scholarship concerning the bond between Canacee and the falcon in SqT and argues that this posthumanist bond "derives from their femaleness, which for the tale-teller transcends species in favor of a gendered sameness borne of similar experiences; in particular, female experiences with figures of the opposite sex."
