View through CrossRef
"Female Trouble: Dorothy Parker, Katherine Anne Porter, and Alcoholism" brings together Dorothy Parker, Katherine
Anne Porter and their fiction over a common problem: their alcoholism and the "female trouble" they encountered in a
culture that asked them, as heterosexual women, to subordinate their bodies, desires, and career aspirations to their male
partners. The women alcoholics---authors and characters---are scrutinized and punished as they transgress culturally
determined roles and behaviors for women.
