There have been a number of real life women who have stepped
outside of the traditional mold to stand up for what they believed throughout
history. But what about in fiction? Maureen Corrigan takes a look at literature
and genre fiction and examines its history as well.
She points out that, early on, women extreme-adventure tales were more likely to be found in young adult literature where it was more acceptable for a girl to be a tomboy. Take Nancy Drew as an example, or Pippi Longstockings. Detective fiction featuring female leads or out-of-the-box female characters also proved an effective method for pushing the boundaries of the set gender roles. It was more acceptable in those cases for a woman to be independent and think for herself. In the end, however, they often reverted back to a more traditional role in the end.
Birgitta Theanders avhandling Älskad och förnekad. Flickboken i Sverige 1945–65 tar också upp detta att man kan hitta ämnen som knappt togs upp i vuxenlitteratur vid samma tid. För en intressant artikel om denna avhandling finns det en från Sydsvenskan som heter Rör inte min flickbok! (12 januari 2007)
Precis nyligen köpte jag Marie i motvind av Inger Brattström och Kulla-Gulla. Dessa ska jag försöka hinna läsa innan plugget börjar igen.
