Jugendliche Helden und ihre Initiationserfahrungen sind Hauptthemen der amerikanischen Literatur. Doch die Literaturwissenschaft widmete sich im Zusammenhang mit der Initiationsthematik bisher fast ausschliesslich der mannlichen Initiation. So blieb besonders die story of female initiation bis dato nahezu vollig unbeachtet. Diese Untersuchung geht , nach einigen grundlegenden Uberlegungen zum Genre der Initiationsgeschichte allgemein, den Ursachen fur diese Nichtbeachtung ebenso wie den Bedingungen von weiblicher Initiation in der Literatur nach. Den Hauptteil der Studie bildet die Interpretation von sechsundzwanzig Kurzgeschichten von Mary Virginia Hawes Terhune, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Chopin, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Ellen Glasgow, Katherine Anne Porter, Jessamyn West, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers und Flannery O’Connor.
