摘要：

This essay reads Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum as a text thoroughly of its time: a mid-1990s feminist interaction with postmodernist deconstructions of historiography. Atkinson's novel moves beyond early second-wave feminist interventions into fairy tale plots and draws its project of recovering female histories closer toward the postmodernism of historiographic metafiction, becoming a key example of the productive coalescence of these two significant late twentieth-century concerns.
