Caren Irr's Pink Pirates asks how contemporary novelists-represented by Ursula Le Guin, Andrea Barrett, Kathy Acker, and Leslie Marmon Silko-have read those signs, arguing that for feminist writers in particular copyright often conjures up the persistent exclusion of women from ownership. Bringing together voices from law schools, courtrooms, and the writer's desk, Irr shows how some of the most inventive contemporary feminist novelists have reacted to this history.American fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismAmerican fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismIntellectual property in literaturePiracy (Copyright)United StatesHistory20th centuryLaw and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryFeminism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.American fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.American fictionHistory and criticism.Intellectual property in literature.Piracy (Copyright)HistoryLaw and literatureHistoryFeminism and literatureHistory813/.54099287Irr Caren897180MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458189203321Pink pirates2220006UNINA
