Contemporary American Women Fiction Writers: An A-To-Z Guide (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780313316272)

American women writers have long been creating an extraordinarily diverse and vital body of fiction, particularly in the decades since World War II. Recent authors have benefited from the struggles of their predecessors, who broke through barriers that denied women opportunities for self-expression. This reference highlights American women writers who continue to build upon the formerly male-dominated canon.

Included are alphabetically arranged entries for more than 60 American women writers of diverse ethnicity who wrote or published their most significant fiction after World War II. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes: L DBLA brief biography L DBLA discussion of major works and themes DBLA survey of the writer's critical reception L DBLA bibliography of primary and secondary sources
