Abstract

The article focuses on the ideological and thematic connections between Theodore Dreiser's "Sister Carrie" and Grant Allen's "The Woman Who Did," examining how each author reimagines the New Woman within their respective narratives. Topics include the influences on Dreiser's work during his time at Every Month, the contrasting depictions of material culture, domesticity, and motherhood by both authors, and the implications of determinism and individual will in shaping the protagonists' fates.
