Summary

This lively and engaging study reassesses the impact of feminism on popular women's fiction from the late 1960s to the present. Imelda Whelehan offers a highly-readable account of the key themes and trends of feminism's so-called Second Wave and an introduction to Third Wave feminism of the new millennium. She demonstrates how feminism still shapes women's writing today - even when such writing seems to ignore feminism, or even reject it.

Author Biography

Imelda Whelehan is Professor of English and Women's Studies at De Montfort University.
