Over the past fifty years, feminist literary criticism has become theoretical rather  than practical, severing any relationship between literary analysis and the real  lived experiences of women. An example of this disconnect is the way in which  the madwoman in feminist literature has become a lauded icon of liberation, when  in reality her situation would be seen as anything but empowered. Finding the Plot  takes this example to task, arguing that in fact any interpretation of women’s  madness as subversive reinforces the very gender stereotypes that feminist literary  criticism should be calling into question.     Rogers argues for a radical approach. By constructing a ground-breaking revision  of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey model, which releases the madwoman from  her narrative captivity, Finding the Plot will transform the way you read, write,  and interpret women’s madness in literature.
