Burroughs's \u003ci\u003eNaked Lunch, \u003c\/i\u003e the Beat Generation defined an experimental zeitgeist that endures to today. Yet left out of this picture are the Beat women, who produced a large body of writing from the 1950s through the 1970s and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWomen Writers of the Beat Era, \u003c\/i\u003e Mary Paniccia Carden gives voice to these female writers and demonstrates how their work redefines our understanding of \"Beat.\" The first single-authored study on female writers of this generation, the book offers vital analysis of autobiographical works by Diane di Prima, ruth weiss, Hettie Jones, Joanne Kyger, and others, introducing the reader to new voices that interact with and reconfigure the better-known narratives of the male Beat writers.
