Essays / How do female characters fit into the modernist milieu? [4]

I'm writing an essay and wanted to get other people's opinion about how female characters fit into the modernist milieu and what we can learn from them? Also, How do they hold up to the poetic voices of real female modernists like St. Vincent Millay and Marianne Moore?

My class read Long Day's Journey Into the Night by Eugene O'Neill and Red Wind by Raymond Chandler. In particular, we are looking at Mary from Long Day's Journey Into the Night and Lola from the Red Wind.

I appreciate the input and thank you in advanced!
