But is is also much more than that. Within this volume Maria Lauret manages to look with fresh vision at the American Civil Rights movement of the 1960's; socialist women's writing of the 1930's; the emergence of the New Left; and the second wave women's movement and its cultural practices. Lauret's historicisation of feminist political writing allows for a new definition of the genre, and enables her to illuminate the profound influence and importance of African-American women 606 $aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitical fiction, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex role in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitical fiction, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 676 $a813.009352042 676 $a813/.5099287 700 $aLauret$b Maria.$0869146 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451299303321 996 $aLiberating literature$91940538 997 $aUNINA
