In page Fanny Fern:

"

Critics of "women's literature" considered some of these strengths to be weaknesses.[citation needed] They attacked her conversational style as unprofessional, feminine, and too spontaneous. Many male critics labeled her as "sentimental". This has led to counter-criticism about what exactly "sentimental" writing is, and why it is considered bad. The criticism showed women's lower status in society almost as well as Fern did in her work.[citation needed] Nathaniel Hawthorne praised her as an exception to the "damned mob of scribbling women", who wrote "as if the devil was in her".[3] Fern was straightforward when she wrote of subjects such as men's economic and social victimization of women.[4]
