Praise for the Unlost,
By Belen F. Crespo (Aranjuez, Madrid Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yonnondio: From the Thirties (Paperback)
In spite of the fact that Tillie Olsen's Yonnondio has been accused at several occasions of silencing or not fully developing the women's issues sketched on it, this work is (in my opinion) a great innovation on the part of Olsen. Yonnondio is not only the typical product of the Socialist literary tradition, wherein the expected Proletarian Realism is displayed and developed: Olsen's Feminist concerns were not completely silenced and no "lament for the lost" feminist issues can be raised and wielded against her. By includying her Feminist interests, Olsen was as strong as to differ from the Party's established rules improving in this way Proletarian Realism. Even though Feminist issues and worries such as the double opression of working-class women, sex-roles or the mother-daughter relationship are not finely-developed or solutions granted, this work provides the reader with clues and hints which will make him/her question many of his/her pre-established preconceptions. |
