DESCRIPTION
Fifteen important women writers, interviewed by critics and scholars well-acquainted with their work and thought, are the subjects of this fascinating volume. The interviews are revealing discussions of the individual writers' opinions, their backgrounds, and the people and events that influenced their personal and artistic development.
Among the authors included are Maya Angelou, A.S. Byatt, Luce Irigaray, Erica Jong, Jeanne Moreau, and Grace Paley.
"A valuable source of fresh information and a handy reminder of common knowledge ... Insights into writing habits, literary preferences, and attitudes toward current problems that women face are occasionally startling and provocative."—Choice
