In this new collection, Jaime Harker and Cecilia Konchar Farr curate essays that reveal how second-wave feminists embraced this potential with a vengeance. The authors in This Book Is an Action investigate the dynamic print culture that emerged as the feminist movement reawakened in the late 1960's. The works created by women shined a light on taboo topics and offered inspiring accounts of personal transformation. Yet, as the essayists reveal, the texts represented something far greater: a distinct and influential American literary renaissance. On the one hand, feminists took control of the process by building a network of publishers and distributors owned and operated by women. On the other, women writers threw off convention to venture into radical and experimental forms, poetry, and genre storytelling, and in so doing created works that raised the consciousness of a generation. Examining feminist print culture from its structures and systems to defining texts by Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker, This Book Is an Action suggests untapped possibilities for the critical and aesthetic analysis of the diverse range of literary production during feminism's second wave"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xIntellectual life$y20th century 606 $aSecond-wave feminism$zUnited States 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xIntellectual life 615 0$aSecond-wave feminism 615 0$aPublishers and publishing$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 676 $a810.9/352042 702 $aHarker$b Jaime 702 $aFarr$b Cecilia Konchar$f1958- 702 $aAnderson$b Jill E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460769903321 996 $aThis book is an action$91948864 997 $aUNINA
