Annotated Bibliography
Atwood, Margaret. Alias Grace. New York: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group,
Inc. Print.
Grace Marks, serving a sentence of life in prison for alleged participation in
double murder, tells her story to a psychologist, Dr. Simon Jordan, who seeks a
name for himself in his field. Some supporters of Grace seek to prove her
innocence and secure her release. This is an excellent source, providing evidence
to support both insanity and ingenuity, as well as providing ambiguity to allow for
option of neither case being true.
Buszek, Maria. "Waving Not Drowning:." Make: The Magazine of Women’s Art. Dec 1999: 1-6.
Web. 24 Apr. 2012. <http://www.mariabuszek.com/kcai/Make.pdf>.
This was a good source with many excellent quotes, although I was unfortunately
not able to use all of them. The author effectively summarized the third wave and
its pros and cons as compared with previous waves.
Chidgey, Red. "Labours Left Unfinished:Third Wave Feminism." thefword.org. the f word, 10
Mar 2008. Web. 24 Apr 2012.
<http://www.thefword.org.uk/features/2008/03/labours_left_un>.
This was a decent source, which I quoted once. Red Chidgey argues that third
wave feminists have forgotten the history of feminism, and are thus doomed to
repeat previous mistakes.
Hill, Rachel. "Having it All." wordpress.com. (2011): 4. Web. 24 Apr. 2012.
<http://rachelhills.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/having-it-all/>.
Rachel Hills comments on the hardships and unrealities of trying to juggle
children, family, work, life and more. This was an OK source, which I more
referenced than quoted.
hooks, bell. Feminist theory: from margin to center. 2nd ed. Cambridge: South End Press, 1984.
1-179. Print.
hooks addresses feminism as regards to women of different color and class, a
standpoint which was not taken into consideration before third wave feminism
began. This was an interesting source, which I was able to quote to provide some
support for the perspective of colored women.
Hutchison, Lorna. "The book reads well: Atwood's Alias Grace and the Middle Voice."
JStor.org. Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association, 2003. Web. 24 Apr 2012.
<http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/30037160?uid=3739744&uid=2129&uid=2&uid
=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21100741502071>.
Gives an explanation of the literary concept of Middle Voice and relates it to
Alias Grace. This is an excellent source, and although the author remains neutral
as regard to Grace’s mental state, it is often quoted in this article to support
argument of crazy Grace.
Groeneveld, Elizabeth. "“Join The Knitting Revolution”: Third-Wave Feminist Magazines And
The Politics Of Domesticity." Canadian Review Of American Studies 40.2 (2010): 259.
MasterFILE Premier. Web. 24 Apr. 2012.
Groeneveld argues that crafting can be fun and does not have to contribute to the
stereotype of women. It can be a political statement. This source was not
spectacular. I expected the title to be sarcastic and did not realize how much of the
essay would literally be about knitting.
Rockler-Gladen, Naomi. "Third Wave Feminism." suite101.com. suite101, 03 May 2007. Web.
24 Apr 2012. <http://naomi-rockler-gladen.suite101.com/third-wave-feminism-a20276>.
This article addressed characteristics and criticisms of the third wave, as well as
how it differed from the second wave. It was very organized and straight forward.
It was a decent source for me, mostly because of the one good quote that I took
out of it.
Scott, Janny. "The Feminist Mystique." New York Times. 02 Apr 2000: n. page. Web. 24 Apr.
2012. <http://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/02/books/the-feministmystique.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm>.
Scott effectively summarizes ‘The World Split Open’ by Ruth Rosen, providing
some interesting comments and insights. This was a good source, with many good
thoughts, not all of which I was able to use.
Toron, Alison. "The Model Prisoner." Canadian Literature 208 (2011): 12. MasterFILE
Premier. Web. 24 Apr. 2012.
This gives an interpretation of the character of Grace and the aspects of Alias
Grace which relate to the prison, discussing the way it literally and figuratively
provides boundaries in the novel and its multiple meanings. This is an excellent
source, and a good support of argument of sane Grace.
Van der Tuin, Iris. "'Jumping Generations': On Second- And Third-Wave Feminist
Epistemology." Australian Feminist Studies 24.59 (2009): 17. MasterFILE Premier. Web.
24 Apr. 2012.
This addresses the classifications of ‘academic feminism,’ and the differences
between the epistemologies of the second and third waves. This was an excellent,
although at times hard to understand, source which made me think a lot.
