Reading Women's Worlds from Christine de Pizan to Doris Lessing

S. Jansen, "Reading Women's Worlds from Christine de Pizan to Doris Lessing: A Guide to Six Centuries of Women Writers Imagining Rooms of Their Own"
2011 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 1349293148 | PDF | 4,1 mb

In this work, Jansen explores a recurring theme in writing by women:  the dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat from the world of men.  These imagined "women's worlds" may be very small, a single room, for example, but many women writers are much more ambitious, fantasizing about cities, even entire countries, created for and inhabited exclusively by women.
