This reference volume serves as a companion to Third World
women's literatures in English and in English translation by
presenting entries on works, writers, and themes. Entries are
chosen to present a balance of well-known writers and emerging
ones, contemporary as well as historical writers, and
representative selections of genres, literary styles, and
themes.
What plays have been written by women in the developing world?
What books have been written by Sri Lankan or Brazilian women?
Which works address themes of feminism or exile or politics in the
Third World? These are the types of questions that can now be
answered through Fister's companion to Third World women's
literatures in English and English translation. Organized
alphabetically, this reference volume presents entries on works,
writers, and themes. Entries are chosen to present a balance of
well-known writers and emerging ones, contemporary as well as
historical writers, and representative selections of genres,
literary styles, and themes.
By providing information about and leads to works by and about
Third World women, an important and largely marginalized
literature, Fister has created a unique reference tool that will
help teachers, scholars, and librarians, both public and academic,
expand their definitions of the literary, making the voices of
Third World women available in the same format in which many
companions to Western literature do. An important book for all
public and college-level libraries.
