Nowadays considered a seminal text in Gender Studies, The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination (1979), by Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar, takes the images of mad and/or imprisoned women in 19th century fiction as proxy for the female artist in a patriarchal context hostile to her newfound freedom of exprssion. You can find the whole text here. I invite you to read Chapter 1, "The Queen's Looking Glass: Female Creativity, Male Images of Women, and the Metaphor of Literary Paternity."
