These nineteen essays introduce the rich and until now largely
unexplored tradition of women's experimental fiction in the
twentieth century. The writers discussed here range from Gertrude
Stein to Christine Brooke-Rose and include, among others, Virginia
Woolf, Jean Rhys, Jane Bowles, Marguerite Young, Eva Figes, Joyce
Carol Oates, and Marguerite Duras. "Friedman and Fuchs demonstrate
the breadth of their research, first in their introduction to the
volume, in which they outline the history of the reception of
women's experimental fiction, and analyze and categorize the work
not only of the writers to whom essays are devoted but of a number
of others, too; and second in an extensive and wonderfully useful
bibliography."--Emma Kafalenos, The International Fiction Review
"After an introduction that is practically itself a monograph,
eighteen essayists (too many of them distinguished to allow an
equitable sampling) take up three generations of
post-modernists."--American Literature "The editors see this volume
as part of the continuing feminist project of the recovery and
foregrounding of women writers.' Friedman and Fuchs's substantive
introduction excellently synthesizes the issues presented in the
rest of the volume."--Patrick D. Murphy, Studies in the
Humanities
