Beskrivning

By merging scholarly writing with personal life stories, Women Writing Women creates a new setting for communicating the unique experiences of women. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume, incorporating authors' ideas on identity, gender, and social realities, illuminates a rich diversity of experiences. To give voice to the different realities women live in and write from, the editors have divided the anthology into four sections: writing about the self; writing about the family and other intimate relationships; writing about the women they study; and writing about women from sources such as diaries and letters. Within this framework women touch on subjects such as ethnicity, sexuality, motherhood, and feminist versus traditional values. The result is a collection of essays that pays tribute to women's complex realities and to their critical creativity in writing about those realities.

Recensioner i media

"Each essay is well-written with a definite feminist outlook. This reader would be an excellent way to introduce new readers to the world of feminist writings."—Journal of the West "Women Writing Women is a multidisciplinary, theoretically informed, and, above all, grounded in the lived experiences of diverse women. . . . Moreover, it engages the reader the way a compelling autobiography does, by forging connections among diverse levels." —Gioia Woods, Great Plains Quarterly
