Description: "In Women Coauthors, Holly A. Laird reads coauthored texts as the realization of new kinds of relationships. Through close scrutiny of literary collaborations in which women writers have played central roles, Women Coauthors shows how partnerships in writing - between two women or between a woman and a man - provide a paradigm of literary creativity that complicates traditional views of both author and text and makes us revise old habits of thinking about writing."--BOOK JACKET.
