This first comprehensive post-structuralist study of Joyce Carol Oates' fiction provides a sophisticated feminist analysis that contradicts the negative evaluations of earlier feminist critics. Wesley discovers in the stories of daughters and sons, narratives that refute the gender roles that the family perpetuates.
She illustrates how Oates' disturbing portrayals of troubled families can and do address complex issues of power in contemporary society--economic dislocation, gender inequity, and violence--as they are experienced in intimate relationships.
