Bu çalışma Shirley Jackson’ın Biz Hep Şatoda Yaşadık (1962) adlı son romanını “Kadın Gotiği” edebi türü kapsamında inceleyecektir. Ellen Moers’ın Literary Women (1976) başlıklı çalışmasında geçen “Kadın Gotiği” terimi on sekizinci yüzyıldan beri kadın yazarlar tarafından kaleme alınan Gotik eserleri kapsamaktadır. Korku ögeleri ve tekinsiz Gotik mekânlardaki yabancılaşmış kadın karakterlerin hikâyeleri aracılığıyla, “Kadın Gotiği” edebi türü kadınların kısıtlayıcı toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine karşı verdikleri mücadeleyi dile getirmiştir. Shirley Jackson’ın romanlarındaki benlik ve Gotik mekân, geçmiş ve şimdiki zaman, gerçek ve hayali olan arasındaki ayrımı bulanıklaştıran Gotik semboller ve motifler bireyin kendine zarar vermesine neden olabildiği gibi aynı zamanda toplumsal kısıtlamaların ve olumsuz dış gerçekliklerin ötesine geçmeye de olanak sağlar. Bu nedenle son romanda, Gotik malikane sembolü hem domestik bir sembol olarak hem de kadın kahramanların ataerkil düzeni bozup kız kardeşliğe dayanan yeni bir düzen kurdukları fantastik bir sığınak olarak temsil edilmektedir.
