From a cultural and literary historic perspective, Eva Boesenberg deals with the correlation of economy and gender discourse in the American novel. At the center of the discussion is the question whether and to what degree the ‘language of money’ is gender-specifically coded and which peculiarities can be seen particularly in the North-American cultural sphere. With a focus on gender-economic relations, which are less hierarchic than hegemonic constructions, the author analyzes the representation of this network in a total of thirty-five novels from 1850 to 2000. Furthermore, she also offers a knowledgeable historical overview on the relation of gender and economy.
