Feminist Experiences (RLE Feminist Theory) - Susan Bassnett - Bog

The Women¿s Movement is usually referred to as if it were a constant, global phenomenon. Susan Bassnett has lived and been involved in the struggles of the women¿s movement in the United States, Italy and the United Kingdom, and has had extensive contacts with feminists in the German Democratic Republic. On the basis of her personal experiences and study of women¿s history and literature in these countries she is able to present a striking picture of the variety of feminist aims, tactics and priorities in the four countries, and of the character of the women¿s movement in four very different cultures.Throughout, the author writes with a double commitment: first, to furthering our understanding of the diversity of aims of women¿s movements and their common ground ¿ the no-man¿s land of female existence; second, to making her book as accessible as possible to all feminists, through drawing on her own personal experience of countries in which she has lived, worked, travelled, and made friends.
