The influential analysis of Victorian women writers, with substantial new introduction from Lisa Appignanesi. Joyce Carol Oates called "The Madwoman In The Attic" 'one of the most important works of literary criticism of the 20th century'.

In this second part of "No Man's Land", Gilbert and Gubar focus on texts from the early part of the 20th century to expand on the claim made in the first volume that, for literary men and women, sexual battles were associated with "sexchanges" - or radically conceived gender roles.

This book argues that throughout the twentieth century women of letters have found themselves on a confusing cultural front and that most, increasingly aware of the artifice of gender, have dispatched missives recording some form of the 'future shock' associated with profound changes in the rules that govern sexuality.

This final volume in Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar's landmark trilogy argues that twentieth-century women of letters-from Virginia Woolf, Marianne Moore, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and H.D. to Zora Neale Hurston, Sylvia Plath, Toni Morrison, and Margaret Atwood-have found themselves on a confusing cultural front and have responded by dispatching 'missives' on the profound changes in the roles and rules that govern sexuality.
