The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing

´A joyous multiplicity of writings incorporating collective manifestos, poetry, fiction, and autobiography... endlessly fascinating´ Catherine Taylor, Financial Times ´A tour de force of feminist thinking, spanning seven centuries and multiple continents´ Jennifer Thomson, Review 31 ´The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing rounds up the voices of women from across history to discuss the meaning and practice of feminism. This is a book that every person should read: the multiplicity of voices from various times and spaces allows women of the past alongside women of the present to be noisy about why feminism matters. It is a collective masterpiece´ Helen Carr, BBC History, Books of the Year ´Bulging with brilliant and exciting writing. Its vast sweep takes us from the 15th century, when Christine de Pizan, a court writer in medieval France, imagined a City of Ladies where women would be safe from harassment, through to the present day, with work by Maggie Nelson, Eileen Myles, Rachel Cusk, Deborah Levy and Lola Olufemi´ Rachel Cooke, Observer Edited with an Introduction by Hannah Dawson
