{"product_id":"insatiable-appetites","title":"Insatiable Appetites","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe women's bestseller has become the acknowledged literary phenomenon of the last half-century. Madonne M. Miner takes the first critical look at this development and offers a serious reading of five of the most famous twentieth-century women's bestsellers--\u003ci\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForever Amber\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eValley of the Dolls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eScruples\u003c\/i\u003e. She outlines repeated plot structures, image patterns, and thematic concerns. From these Miner constructs a twentieth-century white middle-class American woman's story, suggests ways in which female readers respond to women's bestsellers, and proposes a matrilineal linkage between the novels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54219120673112,"sku":"9780313239519","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/insatiable-appetites","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
