Women and Individualism
Women and Individualism

Summary/Abstract: "American female fictional characters are not people. They have no individuality, no entity that says: “I am myself, this person and no other”. Like Catherine Barkley in A Farewell to Arms, as Joyce Warren argues in The American Narcissus, they say instead: “There is no me anymore”. Or, he goes on, like Marilyn Monroe in the film Don’t Bother to Knock, they submit: “I’m anything you want me to be”. "
