References

Female artist's novel is a literary subtype of Kunstlerroman which can be defined as a literary procedure which deals with the main female protagonist’s growing to maturity and gaining experience and independence as an artist, namely a writer. Based on the major assumptions of Kunstlerroman, female artist’s novel works as a portrayal of a woman’s artistic struggle as she acquires artistic freedom and masters the artistic craft of being a writer and gaining literary dexterity. The scope of the genre is deeply rooted in the main assumptions of Kunstlerroman, where the growth of the character is displayed from one's youth to adulthood and deals with one's emotional and personal development on the way to artistic fulfillment.^[1]

As opposed to Kunstlerroman, female artist's novel focuses only on a female writer, who besides being a capable artist and creator of her own reality, is often to perform many social roles simultaneously^[2](e.g. the role of a wife, a mother, home guardian, etc.) to meet expectations the society imposes on her.^[3]

The genre itself is more gendered due to its focus on a female position.^[4]
