This title in other editionsCreating Safe Space: Violence and Women's Writingby Tomoko Kuribayashi
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Creating Safe Space: Violence and Women's Writing defines the role of women's writing in the face of violence and suggests the degree to which violence has affected women from diverse periods, places, and social backgrounds. The book examines the ways in which women use their writing to redefine their experiences of abuse, to give themselves a voice in order to break the silence imposed on women in patriarchal society, and to start challenging and changing a culture that objectifies, degrades, and destroys women.<P>The women discussed in the book include established authors, such as Virginia Woolf, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Charlotte Bronte, as well as contemporary artists including Anne Rice and Joy Kogawa. Book News Annotation:This collection of articles by feminist scholars examines the ways in
which women use writing to redefine the experience of abuse by
creating a zone of safety in which the trauma story can be
reconstructed and told. Thirteen contributions are arranged in
sections on "theorizing our lives," surviving, and thriving.
Discussion includes established authors such as Virginia Woolf, Edith
Wharton, and Willa Cather, as well as less-known contemporary writers.
