This online book examines and explains the feminist visions of Olive Tilford Dargan that were expressed in all of her works of literature. The feminist visions expressed throughout her novels proved to be distinctively unique yet rather complicated to appreciate when her writings were first published in the 1930s. Dargan’s feminist visions consisted of political activism and romance- she describes that political activism and the working class of women of the time opposed and faltered traditional gender roles of women being housewives and mothers. This source is relevant to my Wikipedia page because it provides information on how her lifetime visions of gender roles, romanticism, and political activism were the basis and backbone to all of her novels in her writing career.
