2,400 words (approx. 9.6 pages) | 3 sources | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper reviews three novels by Canadian women authors as a way to compare and contrast their writing styles, and how these styles work to convey the complex relations of mothers and daughters. All three stories, (Hetty Dorval, The Swamp Angel, The Fire-Dwellers) deal with issues of language, silence, and the value of symbols and metaphors to express what is often inexpressible for women. This essay explores these themes through the writing of the authors, Ethel Wilson and Margaret Laurence, who portray a relation of writer with subject, where the ambiguities of understanding women in society become a shared project of story and writing.
