Description
The Language of Power: Women and Literature, 1945 to the Present examines the upheaval in social relations within the last half of the twentieth century and argues that issues of power have had a profound effect on women's lives and literature. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book analyzes women's attitudes toward work: marriage, sex and the family; traditional religion and spirituality; race, class and ethnicity; and artistic creativity. The Language of Power surveys many of the most important American, British and world female authors writing in contemporary culture.
