| 520 | |a In the South, one notion of <U+0032>being ugly<U+0033> implies inappropriate or coarse behavior that transgresses social norms of courtesy. While popular stereotypes of the region often highlight southern belles as the epitome of feminine power, women writers from the South frequently stray from this convention and invest their fiction with female protagonists described as ugly or chastised for behaving that way. Through this divergence, <U+0032>ugly<U+0033> can be a force for challenging the strictures of normative southern gender roles and marriage economies. In Being Ugly: Southern Women Writers and Social Rebellion, Monica Carol Miller reveals how authors from Margaret Mitchell to Monique Truong employ <U+0032>ugly<U+0033> characters to upend the expectations of patriarchy and open up more possibilities for southern female identity. --Publisher description. | ||
