Nontraditional Adoption in Progressive-Era Orphan Narratives Academic Article

abstract

• [This essay examines representations of adoption by single women in American texts written between 1890 and 1918. The narratives considered here take a polysemic approach to the spinsters who figure in them, potentially subverting both conservative and radical visions of marriage and motherhood.]
