In novels of regionalism, however, she is often depicted as moral, feminine, and self-sacrificing. This dichotomy, Jessee argues, reveals two opposing literary approaches to registering the national fears of all that both women and abortion evoke: the terrifying threats to white, masculine, Anglo-American male supremacy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45242497925271,"sku":"9781032227122","price":1992.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032227122.webp?v=1769232322","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/female-physicians-in-american-literature-abortion-in-19th-century-literature-and-culture-9781032227122","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
