Twentieth-century women novelists - S. Watkins

This provocative, lively book discusses two of the most significant influences on writing and thinking in the twentieth century: women novelists and feminist theory.
It demonstrates, in an accessible but imaginative manner, ways of reading women's novels alongside work by feminist theorists.
Each chapter situates a small number of theoretical texts in their intellectual context and then links them with a widely taught novel to produce fresh interpretations.
The novels and theorists represent examples of extremely significant, but also pedagogically useful feminist writing this century.
