The critical essay examines the ways in which twenty-first century feminist nonfiction texts, such as Cheryl Strayed’s Wild and Roxane Gay’s Hunger push against traditional environmental narratives that are posited as transcendental or redemptive. The essay analyzes contemporary notions of woundedness, women’s anger as resistance, and the ways in which feminist writing must engage with the uneasy relationship between people and place, along with the ways in which people and place can affect and, subsequently, reflect each other. Goodbye, Sweet Girl: A Story of Domestic Violence and Survival chronicles my upbringing in the rural cattle country of Idaho, and how that environment, along with the gender roles in which I was raised, later helped shape my decision to stay in an abusive marriage. In this memoir, I seek to challenge traditional notions of victimhood, women, violence, and nature. 2018-07-13 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1523023635124162 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1523023635124162 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
