Reviews
"This collection serves as a powerful tool to challenge the 21st-century difficulties that women writers face, particularly violence, censorship, and marginalization. . . . Highly recommended." --Library Journal "The contributors, hailing from the world over, plumb the depths of their experience with the word--both its delights and ganders. The breadth of voices included is groundbreaking--from Port-au-Prince to Kerala, Dublin to Algiers. These writers make clear what many of us take for granted in the United States: that writing and the word are for most of the women in the world of a matter of life and death." --Caledonia Kearns, editor of Cabbage and Bones: An Anthology of Irish-American Women's Fiction, "This collection serves as a powerful tool to challenge the 21st-century difficulties that women writers face, particularly violence, censorship, and marginalization. . . .

Synopsis
From Margaret Atwood to Edwige Danticat, Assia Djebar to Luisa Valenzuela, some of the world's most famous literary voices mediate on what it means to be a woman writer. Despite their increased visibility, women who write are still thought to be different--sometimes celebrated, sometimes viewed with suspicion and condescension. This fresh collection brings together an international host of women who explore, defy, and embrace "the woman writer" an indispensable muse to some, a troublesome burden to others, a defiant, even life-threatening identity to others still. Taking nothing--certainly not the meanings of "woman" or "writer"--as given, these writers explore the varied pleasures and dangers of writing as women in the contemporary world., From Margaret Atwood to Edwige Danticat, Assia Djebar to Luisa Valenzuela, some of the world's most famous literary voices mediate on what it means to be a woman writer.

- v***v (2060)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
