- Annotation
- Surveys the presence and absence of female characters considering the larger themes of violence, miscommunication, and loss of control that permeate In Our Time. Argues that while Helen of Cross-Country Snow may be physically absent from the story, her role is critical in a text strewn with ignored, misunderstood, and traumatized women. Fenstermaker writes: Helen images hope for this generation by helping realize a desideratum long sought in these tales a fruitful male/female relationship.
