Feminist Modernism, Poetics, and the New Economy

Exploring poetry by Mina Loy, Lola Ridge, and Marianne Moore, Linda A. Kinnahan argues that each writer engaged with the variations in feminist economic thought and discourse that developed in American culture from the 1890s through the 1920s. Her book establishes that women and their ideas contributed to an economic rethinking of gender and to a gendered rethinking of modern economics during the lead up to the Great Depression.
