Literature of Their Own British Women Novelists from Bronte to Lessing

"Feminists keep announcing that we need new versions of the past: Showalter's provocative chapter of literary history shows what they mean and how right they are....Carefully organized, thoughtfully argued, 'A Literature of Their Own' places the women novelists everyone has heard of--the Brontes, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Doris Lessing--in a new setting, considering them in relation to their relatively unknown female contemporaries. The resulting shift of perspective generates fresh social and literary understanding."Showalter, Elaine is the author of 'Literature of Their Own British Women Novelists from Bronte to Lessing', published 1998 under ISBN 9780691004761 and ISBN 0691004765.
