"This A-to-Z guide to feminist literature covers everything from the movement's origins in literature of the distant past, such as the poetry of Sappho and classic tales such as Cinderella and Bluebeard, to the movement's flowering with the works of writers such as George Eliot, Willa Cather, and Virginia Woolf, to the continued development of feminist literature today. Hundreds of comprehensive entries explore a wide range of works by writers from around the world and in a number of genres, including novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and criticism."--BOOK JACKET.
