Recenzje

'This is avery welcome paperback edition of a useful, carefully researched and thoughtfully compiled critical introduction to six early modern women writers ... Oppositonal Voices contributes to the larger ongoing feminist critial project, to rewrite the 'book of myths' in which 'our names do not appear' into a more inclusive and empowering herstory of women's writing, giving attention to all its genres and complex strategies.' - Journal of Gender Studies
