Book Synopsis
As expatriates in Germany and Austria in the 1930s, Kay Boyle, Katherine Anne Porter, Jean Stafford and Lillian Hellman saw the rise of Nazi ideology firsthand. In this volume Thomas Austenfeld restores ethics and politics to the central places they held in the lives and work of these women.

Trade Review
Much has been written of late regarding modernist writers-almost always men such as Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot-who either colluded with fascist leaders or who expressed sentiments that were sometimes alarmingly fascist in nature. With its emphasis on women, politics, and ethics, American Women Writers and the Nazis provides a needed and intriguing chapter on the relationship of American writers to one of the most devastating political movements of the modern era-indeed, of any era.-Will Brantley, author of Feminine Sense in Southern Memoir: Smith, Glasgow, Welty, Hellman, Porter, and Hurston
