内容説明

This volume considers the relationship between feminism and women's writing by investigating the important aspects of women's creativity, language and narrative in the writing of women from different cultures and nations. There are re-assessments of classic American authors Willa Cather, H.D. and Gertrude Stein, as well as new treatments of Eudora Welty and of Black American women poets including Maya Angelou, Alice Walker and Audre Lorde. Africa is represented in a discussion of Nigerian women writers and Australia by a new approach to the works of Christina Stead. There is also an essay re-assessing Irish women poets, and an overview of the Canadian writer, Margaret Atwood.
