This book examines the connections and conversations between women writers from the twentieth century and the twenty-first century. The essays consider the ways in which twenty-first-century women writers look back and respond to their predecessors within the field of contemporary women’s writing. The book looks back to the foundations of contemporary women’s writing and also considers how this category may be defined in future decades. We ask how writers and readers have interpreted ‘the contemporary’, a moving target and an often-contentious term, especially in light of feminist theory and criticism of the late twentieth century. Writing about the relationships between women’s writings is an always-vital, ongoing political project with a rich history. These essays argue that establishing and defining the contemporary is, for women writers, another ongoing political project to which this collection of essays aims, in part, to contribute.

This book argues that women writers of colour, specifically those situated within Anglophone diasporic contexts, have played a significant role in the rewriting and diversification of women’s relations in literature, mainly by dismantling the traditional view of women as kindred spirits and of women’s friendships as exclusively private bonds. Through an interdisciplinary framework that is based on philosophical, sociological, and literary criticism, the book explores how the selected contemporary novels complexify the representation of female bonds in literature by adding sociological vectors of difference related to the characters’ respective gender, racial, sexual, class, and national identities. Additionally, the book examines how these fictional bonds play a political role by creating a space that both motivates the characters’ civic agency and enables the authors to explore ethical human connections. All in all, this book addresses a central concern in contemporary society: how we form relationships with one another and how we might cultivate ethical connections that enhance both individual and collective well-being.

This book explores short fiction by migrant women writers in Canada and the United States from 1980 to 2020, including Jhumpa Lahiri, Edwidge Danticat, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jamaica Kincaid, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Shani Mootoo. It takes the reader on a rich, revealing journey through the contemporary short story scene, made up of stories by both established authors and lesser-known names. The stories considered display the diverse experiences, literary styles and concerns of migrant short story writers, and their common ongoing cross-cultural concerns with home, belonging and domesticity that characterise this genre. Across chapters scrutinizing the roles and representations of language, food and dress in the stories, the book introduces a new way of theorising migrant short fiction through the concept of habitability. It explores the explores the authors’ radical re-appropriation of domestic tropes and argues that the short story genre is naturally well-suited to writing by migrant women and to the hybridity and fragmentation of the migrant experience.By examining short stories as cultural artifacts, taking publishing contexts into consideration, and incorporating an exclusive bibliographical guide to short story collections published since 1980, this study analyses form alongside theme to offer new insights into migrant women’s contributions to the contemporary short story.
