Snodgrass Mary Ellen. Encyclopedia of Feminist Literature

Encyclopedia of Feminist Literature invites the feminist, writer, literary historian, researcher, student, teacher, librarian, and reader to sample a wide range of fiction and nonfiction by feminist authors. The text, arranged alphabetically into more than 500 entries, is an easy-to-use source of information. Discussions of feminist themes and women’s rights summarize the evolution of feminism. Entries cover authors, literary works, and other related topics of interest and were included after a close examination of the syllabi of women’s studies, literature, and social issues classes, as well as the contents of current textbooks, supplemental reading lists, and notable projects and seminars that have drawn together teachers, students, writers, activists, and authorities on feminist concerns.
