Now in its second edition and with new chapters covering such texts as Elizabeth Gilbert''s Eat, Pray, Love and ''yummy mummy'' novels such as Allison Pearson''s I Don''t Know How She Does It, this is a wide-ranging survey of popular women''s fiction from 1945 to the present.
Examining key trends in popular writing for women in each decade, Women''s Fiction offers case study readings of major British and American writers. Through these readings, the book explores how popular texts often neglected by feminist literary criticism have charted the shifting demands, aspirations and expectations of women in the 20th and 21st centuries.
