This article explores how Calpurnia both follows and usurps the gender expectations of turn-of-the-century, American girls' literature, namely that the girls' bildungsromane usually ends in marriage instead of a scientific career. Because Calpurnia ends before the heroine is grown, the novel has unresolved tension, making its gender ideology opaque.","PeriodicalId":40856,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Literature Association Quarterly","volume":"46 1","pages":"24 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/CHQ.2021.0007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47556924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
