S. Jansen 
Reading Women’s Worlds from Christine de Pizan to Doris Lessing [PDF ebook] 
A Guide to Six Centuries of Women Writers Imagining Rooms of Their Own

Dukung

In this work, Jansen explores a recurring theme in writing by women: the dream of finding or creating a private and secluded retreat from the world of men. These imagined ‘women’s worlds’ may be very small, a single room, for example, but many women writers are much more ambitious, fantasizing about cities, even entire countries, created for and inhabited exclusively by women.
