The Witch And The Goddess In The Stories Of Isak Dinesen: A Feminist Reading
Sara Stambaugh
The recent revival of interest in Isak Dinesen, as Karen Blixen is known to North
American readers, has necessarily shifted perception of her place as a writer and
of the subjects she wrote about. Dinesen was the product of a Victorian world,
so much so that my first perception of feminist themes in her work came in 1979
through Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic, in which
Dinesen's presence seemed to hover behind the concerns Gilbert and Gubar
ascribe to such nineteenth-century British writers as M.ary Shelley and the
B~onte sisters.
