Recenzje

"This book is no doubt a timely and important study of the post-socialist cultural landscape through the lens of women writers. (…) the major achievement of the book is its ability to observe the shift from how writers of the 1980s had to have "a lofty educative object and to conform to the ideological concerns of the government"to how post-socialist female writers have successfully removed themselves from these shackles." - Leung Wing-fai, King’s College London
