Rose-scented Flirtations (Rebirth)

Painting

Traditionally coded as feminine, the garden serves as a domestic space in which women of past and present could safely exert their freedom and creativity. Like Burnett before her, Maggie reclaims the garden as a site of feminine power. She sees the garden as a woman not due to its fragility and loveliness, as male writers have typically understood it, but through its underlying vigor and vitality.
