{"product_id":"shedding-and-literally-dreaming-verena-stefan-9781558610842","title":"Shedding and Literally Dreaming","description":"Sometimes called the feminist equivalent to Mao's \"little red book,\" \u003ci\u003eShedding\u003c\/i\u003e narrates the transformation of a young woman's consciousness against the background of the rising women's movement of the early 1970s. Over 300,000 copies have been sold in Germany since 1975. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShedding and Literally Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of eight stories written a decade later, portrays women living together in rural settings, independent of men. The autobiographical essay \"Euphoria and Cacophony\" traces the extraordinary reception and backlash that greeted \u003ci\u003eShedding\u003c\/i\u003e and Stefan's emergence as a writer and a symbol of the German women's movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn resonant prose, and with a refreshing honesty, Stefan speaks to the universality of women's lives, a concept popular in the 1970s and 1980s, and ripe for re-discussion now in the 1990s. Stefan was a pioneer in \"experimental writing\" before the phrase was coined, and her writing about women's lives is as immediate today as when it first exploded on the German literary scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Verena Stefan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558610847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558610842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1995 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/1994 pg. 1369","brand":"Verena Stefan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372415340799,"sku":"9781558610842","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dc037b0-837a-4561-8407-7f022fd3ed76.jpg?v=1732725880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shedding-and-literally-dreaming-verena-stefan-9781558610842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
