- Description
- Studies the "co-articulation of the transhistorical issues of gender, race, and sex" in WBPT and Zadie Smith's "Wife of Willesden," arguing that they "invoke similar forms of sexual assault and feminine abuse while undermining analogous abstractions and ideological conjectures of anti-feminism." Also considers Smith's linguistic and aesthetic adaptation of her source.
