- In this book Jane Marcus examines the writings of novelists such as Virginia Woolf, Nancy Cunard, Mulk Raj Anand, and Djuna Barnes, artists whose work coincided with the end of empire and the rise of fascism before the Second World War.

- Description
- The author explores the metaphor of the 'girlfriend' as a new way of understanding three central concepts of cultural studies: self, memory, and language. He considers how the work of writers such as Toni Morrison, Ama Ata Aidoo, Dionne Brand, photographer Lorna Simpson, and others, inform debates over the concept of identity. Described are the singular identity with the concept of self development, the memory as a literal body that is crucial to the process of becoming and finally, the problem that language poses for the black woman artist and her commitment to a mastery that neither colonizes nor excludes.

- Description
- As stated in the introduction, this volume is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of authors, literary terms, and genres. Instead, the purpose is to provide readers with an entry point to feminist literature. In her introduction, Whitson, a professor of English, tackles the 'problematic term feminist' with a short history of the concept and finally defines it as the 'call for the social, political and economic equality of women.' .The authors are predominantly American and British, but significant authors from elsewhere who have been published in English are included. All of the nearly 70 authors are creative writers and not theorists, selected because their works have challenged traditional gender roles, explored female oppression, or critiqued patriarchal social structures. Among them are Valerie Solanas, Elizabeth Gaskell, Toni Morrison, Amy Tan, and Virginia Woolf. Each author entry includes biographical information, a thorough interpretative summary of at least one major work, a list of her other writings, internal cross-references, and a list of 'References and Suggested Readings.' The purpose of the summary section is to entice students and general readers to explore each author's works further. In addition to the author entries, there are 20 articles covering related topics such as Abolition, Marriage, and pseudonyms. The volume closes with a list of all works cited.

- Description
- This collection celebrates the range and diversity of contemporary (post-1970) British women writers. It challenges misconceptions about the nature and scope of fiction by women writers working in Britain - commonly dismissed as parochial, insular, dreary and domestic - and seeks to expand conventional definitions of 'British' by exploring how issues of nationality intersect with gender, class, race and sexuality. Writers covered include Pat Barker, A.L. Kennedy, Maggie Gee, Rukhsana Ahmad, Joan Riley, Jennifer Johnston, Ellen Galford, Susan Hill, Fay Weldon, Emma Tennant, and Helen Fielding.

- Description
- Hackett examines portrayals of race, class, and sexuality in modernist texts by white women to argue for the existence of a literary device that she calls 'Sapphic primitivism'. The works covered vary in form and content, and include Olive Schreiner's proto-modernist exploration of 'New Womanhood', 'The story of an African farm': Virginia Wolf's high modernist play-poem, 'The waves': Sylvia Townsend Warner's historical novel, 'Summer will show': and Willa Cather's Southern pastoral, 'Sapphira and the slave girl'. In each, blackness and working-class culture are seen as representing sexual autonomy, including lesbianism, for white women.
