My thesis would be- I believe that The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn is a book that was written in a matter that men dominate the story.

Nancy Walker
The object of praise, banning and veneration during the hundred years since it's publication, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has not commonly been considered a novel about women in the nineteenth century american society. Men occupy center stage in huck Finn; women stand toward the back and sides of the novel, nagging, providing inspiration , often weeping or hysterical.(477)

Judith Fetterley
American literature is male. To read the cannon of what is currently considered classis american literature is preforce to identity as male.... Our literature neither leaves women alone nore allows them to participate.(477)

I agree with both the qoutes , the first qoute targets The Book huck Finn while the other qoute talks about gender roles in literature in general.
