My article on Gender and Writing

The article I found is "Writing from the Trenches: Women's Work and Collaborative Writing" by Janice Doane and Devon Hodges. the article is essentially a response to Christopher Lasch's publication The Culture of Narcissism, in which their work was included but used, as they put it "to provide Lasch with feminist whipping girls." Because of this, the tone of the article is very defensive. Nevertheless, it is interesting to hear these two writers detail their process as collaboraters as well as the impact that has had on the response and reaction to their work. Though it occasionally comes off as a "look at us, look at us!" expose, it is an interesting look at the perception of collaborative work and gender in the "feminized" field of composition theory.
