description: Considered by many critics to be Britain’s most important woman novel­ist, Doris Lessing warrants major atten­tion. Her novels increasingly bring into question what it means to be an eman­cipated woman in a complex and male-dominated society, especially a woman involved with politics, with writing, with love and sex—a woman who frankly admits her sexuality. Schlueter’s new book is the only in-depth study of all the Lessing novels to date and the first full-length study of her major themes. The insights pro­vided in this work will enable readers to understand and appreciate Doris Lessing’s perception and interpretation of human experience in this “complex, chaotic, conformist world.”
