Full Description
Covering both traditional and emerging issues and methodologies, The Routledge Companion to Global Women's Writing equips readers with interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches to women's writing in the global context. Movements and experiences continuously shaping the twenty-first century clarify the urgent need for expanding and re-envisioning academic and social definitions of gender, location, and creative expression. The Companion forges new directions in and conceptualizations of identity, experience, and practice of diverse communities across the world. The volume provides a conjunctive methodology, building on existing scholarly frameworks while encouraging readers to envision new possibilities that enhance future conversations and a multiplicity of voices and perspectives, ranging from established authors' commentary on key debates to the innovative work of emerging scholars and practitioners. Offering diverse critical and creative access to the nexus of women's writing, this Companion provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction for those looking to extend their knowledge of this essential field.
