Concept Statement -
The compound word that I chose for my book series is:
Feminist-Traditional
Feminist - the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men
-radical, change, going against the grain, modern, female, strong
Traditional - the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, esp. by word of mouth or by practice: a story that has come down to us by popular tradition.
-stuffy, old, stuck, turn of the century, victorian, southern,
These books all have a strong female main character that is fighting against social norms of the traditional society that she is stuck in. Critics have said that Kate Chopin was the pioneer of the feminist modern movement in literature. Her writing was almost ignored until about 20 years after her death when the feminist movement started taking shape.
For my book covers, I really want to convey the juxtaposition between the feminist values and the traditional southern society and time period.
