Description

This book provides biographical and critical articles on almost 300 writers of fiction and nonfiction who espouse a feminist viewpoint. International and preponderantly 20th century in scope, it includes writers of both sexes. Alphabetically arranged entries consist of a critical essay that focuses on the author's relation to the feminist movement and discusses historical/political implications, biographical data, a bibliography of publications, and a list of critical works about the writer. The title, nationality, and genre and subject indexes are especially useful. In addition, there are sources for more information on feminist writers including anthologies and criticism arranged by decade; resources such as libraries, periodicals, and web sites; and a list of additional feminist writers not covered in this volume with short annotations of their work.
