Lesinska (U. of Southern California) examines several lesser known texts written by four female writers during the 1930s and 1940s, in response to WWII and the political conditions preceding it. The materials discussed include Stein's experimental autobiographies, Flanner's popular journalism, Boyle's novels and short stories, and West's travelogue. Collectively, they provide a representation of WWII that differs significantly from the image of the War conveyed by the influential, male-authored historical and literary texts of their time.
