Gianquitto examines nineteenth-century American women's intellectual and aesthetic experiences of nature and investigates the linguistic, perceptual, and scientific systems women used to describe those experiences. She focuses on the most influential works of four writers: Almira Phelps, Margaret Fuller, Susan Fenimore Cooper, and Mary Treat.
