Description
Building on scholarship, such as feminist criticism, that has contributed to an awareness of the distinctive perspectives on female experience revealed in women's writing, Heller reveals how women authors construct their female protagonists' quests for creative self-expression. By situating these narrative journeys in their own times and cultures, Literary Sisterhoods shows how they contribute to a common tradition that speaks to readers today.
