ISBN: 0803273363 ISBN-13: 9780803273368 Publisher: University of Nebraska Press OUR PRICE: $37.95 Product Type: Paperback Published: April 2006 Annotation: 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. |
