Writing a Woman's Life (Ballantine Reader's Circle) - Heilbrun, Carolyn G.

Writing a Woman's Life (Ballantine Reader's Circle) by Heilbrun, Carolyn G.

Format: Trade Paperback

Published by Ballantine Books, 1989

Drawing on the experience of celebrated women, from George Sand and Virginia Woolf to Dorothy Sayers and Adrienne Rich, Heilbrun examines the struggle these writers undertook when their drives made it impossible for them to follow the traditional "male" script for a woman's life. Refreshing and insightful, this is an homage to brave women past and present, and an invitation to all women to write their own scripts, whatever they may be.
