A fascinating anthology of poetry and prose by leading feminist writers of the 20th century on the topic of women's freedom and the idea of the 'New Woman'. This international collection offers over 20 literary gems by favourite and newly rediscovered women writers.
Selected and introduced by Gabi Reigh who gives context to the selected contributions from women writers who were expressing their hopes for freedom and autonomy during the early part of the twentieth century.
Includes stories and poems by well-known authors writing in English such as Virginia Woolf, Radclyffe Hall, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Zelda Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton, and Katherine Mansfield as well as many new translations of international women's writing from the same period.
