Harriette Simpson Arnow’s authorial testimony: toward a reading of The Dollmaker. |

Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, Spring 1995, v36 n3, p211(13). |
| Abstract: |
Harriette Simpson Arnow imbued the main character of her novel
The Dollmaker with a strength of character that would allow her to survive a
transplantation from ideal living to the more demanding life in the city.
Gertie is the mother of five children who must endure all the sufferings
brought by their dislocation as well as the loss of her children. Arnow’s
achievement is in showing a simple woman who could overcome suffering despite
her inability to articulate her needs.
