Using the example of road novels from American literature since 1970, Alexandra Ganser shows that the mythology of the “freedom of the street,” which is marked as masculine, is picked up by female authors, whose texts subverts this concept, though sometimes more or less effectively. Ganser deals extensively with current theoretical discourses on space and mobility, and she broadens the gender-critical perspective with help from the analytical concept of transdifference.
