Description: Exploring a variety of writers over an array of time periods, subject matter, race and ethnicity, sexual preference, tradition, genre, and style, this volume represents the fruits of the dramatic and celebrated growth of the study of American women writers today. From established figures to emerging voices and contemporaries, the essays present fresh approaches and furnish a wealth of illustrations for the multiple selves created and addressed in women's writing.
