Feminist Justice #5: The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

Reading and analysis of Katherine Anne Porter's 1930 short story, "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall." Recommended for high school.

*Warning: This story is about death and dying, and also discusses loss, grief, and death in childbirth.

The story is written in stream-of-consciousness narration, and is one of the more readable examples of that technique. It is filled from top to bottom with figurative language, and so that along with the narrative style is the focus of the analysis.

Fifth in a series focusing on women authors and feminist themes, this story is less feminist than some, but it's not not feminist, and Katherine Anne Porter was one of the finest short story writers in American literature of any gender.
