From the supplier: Upton Sinclair's novel entitled 'The Jungle' is a depiction of the threat posed by feminine fertility and power to traditional masculine authority. The novel is naturalist in its underlining of sociohistoricopolitical influences in the events portrayed in the narrative. The novel is also heavily misogynist in its fear of female authority and thus, reveals a distase of the reproductive power and family life.
