Women Writers in Russian Literature

'œFaced with a tremendous undertaking both with respect to gender studies in Russia...and evaluating Russian literature as a whole, Clyman and Greene achieve an unprecedented success in conception and execution of their task....Each essay represents a new synthesis without involving the too-frequent bias of a contemporary cultural or feminist ideology. Feminists have the raw material to aid them in their understanding of Russian women writers, but the general reader with a different background will profit equally. For all readers intersted in the fabric of women's literature and women in a literary society, this book represents the highest achievement to date in Russian studies. All levels.'' ChoiceClyman, Toby W. is the author of 'Women Writers in Russian Literature', published 1994 under ISBN 9780313275210 and ISBN 0313275211.
